Thanks for sharing this video! I've been reading about what to do with these after their flowers have dropped and I wasn't sure if I should be cutting off the flowering stems or the main stems after they flowered, so this was enlightening. Thanks!
I wish you good luck with your nobile. I beleive the hybrids nobile need a temperature drop with little water restriton before blooming, those conditions are needed to trigger blooms. But I would not put in the cold those new growths, they cannot devellop well in the cold and I also would not have repotted before new roots start. But that is just my way. Good luck.
As I said in a previous comment I didn't explain things very well. The new growth will not be starved of water or warmth and will not be kept in cold conditions until the end of February.. I am always of the opinion that repotting should be done after flowering. Ed.
Thank you again for this video, Ed. I am hoping my plant will grow a few new growths like yours had. Good to know about not watering for a while and still you got new growths. Cheers!
Hi Ed. I didn’t know you had to cut the flowers stems off, thanks for that, mine has one flower bud on it, no new growths, I hope to see you on Saturday 😁
Love your videos Ed, very informative and at a nice steady pace 👍🏼 hope you don't mind me asking, I just wanted to know why do you trim those small flower stems? As it's winter and my leaves are wilting and dropping. Thanks
Good morning Lee and thank you for your comment. There is no significent reason why the dead flower stems are removed it's just that it makes the plant look more presentable. Hope that your collectionis coping well with the winter conditions. I've had to bring my collection indoors, due to the energy bills, and I know it will not do them any good being moved into a different environement.......or being moveed back into the greenhouse when the weather warms up, Thank you for your kind words about my channel and once again thank you for taking a look at my channel......take care, Ed. Pleased to give you a subscription.
Thank you very much..........actions speak louder than words so I hope that language takes a back seat in this case.....thank you once again and take care, Ed.
Good points. I also thought that if new growths were growing you still water but stop when there is nothing growing...otherwise the New growths will stunt or stop growing and deplete energy from the larger canes...
I'm only watering when the medium becomes bone dry and only going to give it cold temperatures in February and March. I do have a bad habit of not explaining myself very well at times. Sorry. Ed.
I haven't grown this orchid but I have seen Roger video and he grows his on and continues to water and feed his. The new buds will appear after a cool down after the new growths has fully grown.
Hi Jay. Roger does things his own way.... but there are more ways than one to 'skin-a-cat' I do agree about the cooling down period as I said in the video. Ed,
Hi Ed.. Great video.. Thank you 😊. I would just like to say though that I've watered my den nobile all year round and it didn't really get a cold spell, just a temperature drop and mine has budded down the whole length of the 2 new canes. I'm just waiting for the buds to open now which shouldn't be much longer 😊. I'm not an expert by any means lol but just wanted you to know that I didn't stop watering and mine has rebloomed first time for me 😊. I hope you have the same with yours 😊.
Many thanks Maxine and congrats on your successes. It's like a lot of things .....some do it this way some do it that and they both get the same results so there is no exact science in growing orchids. Will you be showing us a pic of your plant when in flower? Ed
@@EdsOrchidsThank you 😊. There most definitely is no exact science with orchids and I'm learning that very quickly lol. I could be just very lucky and next year it will decide not to bloom... They can be very stubborn as I'm realising fast lol. I'm too shy to do a video but will post a pic on Roger's Facebook page if you're able to see that?
My hybrid nobile types have reflowered for me, like Maxine, without a deliberate reduction in watering, only reducing the frequency to make sure they dried out first. They saw high temperatures in the summer and are only seeing minima of around 15-16C overnight.
Hi Ed . Welcome back. Nice videoclip on Nobeli hy brid tutorial. Normally we flush with plain water . But you taught us to flush with Magnesium @ 180ppm. Such high quality ingredients how it helps our potting media ? Why 180 ppm ? Is it magnesium 180 or RO water starting ppm included to 180 ? Then for me it’s 190ppm after mixing ?
Thanks for showing this video! I grow many Nobiles. They put on such a show when they flower. Mine are, for the most part, mounted on palm trees. We are currently having a cold spell so I'm hoping for a nice flower display. Never knew there was such a thing as seedling bark. Is that an Orchiata bark?
Good evening Pat. My conditions for growing are a totally different from yours so I have to adapt my conditions to try and suit the plants. How cold is your cold spell? Seedling bark is the smallest of the Orchiata series and measures on 2 or 3 mm. Ed.
Off topic(forgive me) but what do I do with the stalk that is left after a Paph stops blooming? The bloom fell off and I can see a tiny new leaf near bloom stalk. Please advise. Oh I enjoyed this video
are you from bury/bolton/heywood? I would say rochdale, but i think you're more heywood way...actually, just heard you say larger and it sounded a bit darwin way, maybe burnley/sabden way on
Hello Dale Lad Daz. Not from any of the four places which you mention although I did work in " monkey town " for a few years. I was born in Ewood Blackburn but spent all my time in Darwen. How about you??
@@EdsOrchids ahhh i spelled darwen wrong but with your 'ar' words i picked up a bit of that lancashire twang lol... im rochdale, but my sister lives more towards rawtenstall and has friends from sabden and has worked in darwen... im currently in newcastle but i've just started keeping houseplants and came across this video and your accent made me realise how much i miss my old stomping grounds. I know newcastle is in the north, but i think of the north west as the 'proper' north lol and it was great to hear your accent... i shall be watching more of your vids anyway as my girlfriend bought me a dendrobium nobile for my birthday and i picked up a phal the other day... hopefully i won't kill them off lol
I haven't got it now. I was cutting down on certain things and I only had one dendrobium so I passed it onto another member of our society. With having no shows I'm unable to tell you if it's flowered or not.....sorry. Happy New Year. Ed.
@@EdsOrchids Happy new year mate, thanks for replying. Mine flowers are starting to droop. I wondered if mine (bought a month ago) was forced for Christmas blooming for sale by heating and cooling, as i understand they should bloom a little later ( Jan - March ). I'm new to all this.
keep it cooler and dryer when the new canes has matured, the plant is in growth now so no cold for this plant.. someone gave you some bad advize.. and the repot is to soon, all die oold roots will die and there will be no new ones for quit a while..this plant is gonna struggle..
I agree with Martin, Ed. The wild plants get a severely reduced rainfall but they don't see a drought in the cold season. I water mine when the compost has completely dried out, which is every 2-3 weeks with mine depending on the pot size. Where they are in active growth I fertilise, too. Keith
@@Rockdoc2174 I know I didn't explain things very well Keith but I do realise that I need to protect the new growths from deterioration by water and warmth. The plant will not be subjected to a cold spell until late February. My apologise for the confusion. Ed.
I hesitated to criticise someone as experienced as yourself but it did sound as if you might risk stunting or aborting those growths. Glad to see it was a misunderstanding.
When these are starting to put out new growths they should be heavily fed and watered......I'm sure the plant will survive they are quite a hardy specie. Take care, Ed.
Very interesting! I hope it blooms well in the next blooming season!
I hope it grows and lives that long Lucy.

i got one from the neighbour yesterday the nobile akatsuki with 4 new growth👍👍👍 but in doubt if i would repot it now it is full of flowers

!80ppm is just a number Hamim and not to be taken as a definite amount ......anywhere between 160 and 200ppm will be OK.

Eds Orchids OK that I understood. But you did not understand my Question. There are few more Wuestion not attended. Would you mind to read again ?
Sorry Hamim. RO water for you at 190 is good.
