- Today, as promised, we are talking about the care and culture of the Dendrobium Phalaenopsis type orchid!
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
Popularly known as the Dendrobium Phalaenopsis, this orchid has as a main ancestor the Dendrobium bigibbum. Learn more about him here www.orchidspecies.com/denbiggi...
The DenPhal is an easy orchid to care for, even for beginners! It likes warm to hot temperatures, very bright light and ample watering when in active growth.
It can bloom twice a year in warm climates and once a year in cooler to temperate climates. Depending on the light and feeding, it can grow big and produce massive inflorescence, depending on variety.
It is not known for its fragrance, but a few representatives have a mild perfume. Overall, a friendly orchid for the home and garden/patio area!

This is my first orchid trying to take care. Got my 5 dendrophals last Saturday. Danni you are helping us beginners a lot!!
Den Phals have probably the most aesthetically interesting buds, they look like little spaceships imo
I Rescued a reduced sad looking Dendrobium and with your help after watching lots of your videos I identified it and now know how to care for it, it had been neglected at the garden centre where I was buying orchid potting medium for my Phals Keiki's, again I'd watched your great demonstrations on phal care and separating keiki's. Thank you.
I've recently found your channel and I have to say I love all your videos! You are so knowledgeable about orchids. And your videos are NOT boring, you move along and give a lot of information on whatever orchid you are discussing. I've been growing the phalans....for several years but am now branching out into the cattleyas and others and you have helped tremendously!! Thank you for your expertise!
Thanks for such a thorough video. I just repotted mine in leca after watching another one of your videos and now this one will help me to follow through with its care.
Super video Danni. Straight to the point and easy to understand. Your knowledge of orchids is amazing. Your videos have helped me so much in the past. 🌺🌺🌱🌱
I just found out about these a week ago when I saw one in a shop, I didn't wait too long to buy it lol.
Thank you for your video. Den phal are doing great in your care.
Thank you Dani. What a great informative video. I hadn't thought so much about the high heat they love so I will be adding a bit of heat for the winter months to keep these beauties growing.
Appreciate that you took the time to make this video. I have been experimenting with my den-phals. Used to be able to grow them attached to trees (in s. FL USA), but that yard must have had different growing conditions than my current yard. So, since they were looking really bad (getting dehydrated) I removed them from the trees and have started repotting them. I'll let you know if they improve. My nobiles are in the same location in the yard - attached to the trees. They are thriving. Perhaps the difference is that the nobiles were mounted to the trees in the spring and had a chance to get their roots healthy before the fall. Agree with you on the temps for these orchids. Thanks for such a helpful video.
Great video. I love growing denphals
Thank you for this video. It certainly showed me what I am doing wrong so I will make changes because I LOVE them!
I have the hardest time with these so hopefully with your video I’ll do better from now on 😁
Sunah Yun. Same none of mine survive
Thanks again and again. Learning a lot from your tutorials.
Excellent video and Tks for sharing 😍😍
This was an excellent video...thanks soooo much!!!
Love mine! I live in Tampa and they adore the heat, sun and summer thunderstorms.
Hi, thank you for very informative information all about orchids, love it.
Wonderful video...I just ran across some DenPhals at my Kroger's. First time I have ever seen them offered, it's always been Phals. I had to watch your video how to tell the difference. So now that I know, I will be able to grow them really well in my house. I think the large pink bloomed one has a slight fragrance. I also bought a small purple bloomed DenPhal. I think I'm going to go back and get a white one..yours is really pretty. At 25% off..I pay $8.99. Can't beat that..and if it doesn't work out for whatever reason. I'm not out too much. Really glad I don't have to over winter these. I ordered a Dendrobium kingianum..still not sure how to over winter it. I have watched countless videos..It seems kind of young. I might skip it this year. IDK. Thanks for the info!!
Thankyou for this video. So helpful , I now feel I can grow my 3 that I've just bought well as I've got the hang of growing cats they are now doing well ( with your help) I live in qld Australia it's now autumn here teps are around 28° day time & 20° at night. My cats are on my porch & growing well so my dens will join them. Please keep those videos coming, I look forward to watching them all love your birds & the fish also. Always tell people to watch your videos. Thankyou Danny.
I've been pretty lucky as far as having no pests on mine. I just recently repotted mine as it was starting to smell nasty. Man did it have roots. It looks so happy to have fresh medium ( a mixture of spag moss and bark) . Thank you for helping us grow our beautiful babies
Thank you so much for this video! Sooo helpful for me!!!
Tqvm for sharing 😘
Thank you for this video❤❤❤
Great video! Helpful for my new Dendrobium Enobi :D
Great video 👍
I just rescued my first Dendrobium orchid from the clearance rack at Lowe’s.
At a price of $8.00 due to the pot being shattered (I fixed it up. A lovely glazed clay/terracotta pot that was created with air holes) the flower spike is spent, and some, not all of the leaves are yellow.
The root system looks great, and so do the canes!
However I will be quarantining it from my other plants as should always be done.
thankyou for sharing
I live in a very humid climate (80% is average) and cocopeat and charcoal works excellently for me.
If you can , do a pros and cons on these lovely ladies. Has been a time seeing one of those.
My collection has a good number of these. I have 14 of them. Try the Dendrobium humming butterfly and the King stripe 311 i have these and they are fantastic!
I would rather call these hybrids which i have mentioned as dencattts they look like cattleya flowers.
Thanks!
Hola, tus plantas siempre es tan hermosas, hermosas las hojas con un color verde espectacular y hermosa floración
Felicitaciones
MegaLduarte ¡Sí! Las plantas de Danny estancia muy hermosas, mis plantas estan un poquito mas hermosas porque me gusta los videos de Danny
Lo siento, pero mi Español es muy mal.
@@sippigrrrl hola Kari y Dany felicidades por sus plantas, ustedes cultivan bajo techo y veo que con luz artificial, aca en Panamá cultivamos al aire libre fuera de casa, pero la lluvia es mucha y eso afecta las plantas.

My denphal is spiking 😍
DANNY omg I just bought a denphal bigibbum polypoloid 'rainbow' & it has VARIEGATED-PINK LEAVES!! I'm so excited lol
I bought two of these two years ago - they've really taken off since I repotted in bark. The one that was in coconut husk did ok but didn't really thrive, but the one in spaghnum moss did really badly. Both are doing brilliantly now they are in bark - I think the moss & coconut husk is too slow to dry out for the UK - they hardly ever needed watering in that medium, so of course, didn't get fed much either.
In temperate climates, when you buy one from a greenhouse, they can stall for a year before making a new pseudobulb. Just always keep them over 15°C, West or South window, water when dry, and they will eventually make a new cane.
Once adapted to temperate indoor, they do great.
Also, CAREFULL. Producers often burry the canes when they pot them for sale to give the canes stability. You need to repot them, or at least "dig out" substrate so the base of the canes is at the surface of the medium, otherwise the "eyes" for new pseudobulbs, or new pseudobulbs starting, will rot in the substrate.
Stake them for stability. Don't burry the canes.
That last advice also applies for "Nobile type" Dendrobiums.
Familha Gaudir I found this to be true (the buried cane on the nobile) too. Luckily, I repot all of my orchids into semihydro and found the smallest cane buried under the medium. I've also found many, many "grocery store" Orchids that are planted in DIRT but have a covering of bark or sphagnum moss to dress up the look of the orchid. Again: I'm glad that I repot EVERY orchid that enters my home. Even the Catts, but I do it very gently.
Thank you so much I just got my new beautiful den Phal that had pretty bark and moss on top but cane buried in broken down moss and dirt!!! I am going to repot.
Been watch at our grocery store here in USA because they have these types available now. So you have inspired me a bit more to grow this one.
Jay Budd - What grocery store did you find them in? I am in the US as well but have yet to see it in our local Safeway and would happily search them out if you could point me in the right direction.
@@karisanchez762 at Kroger. Been to three stores two here in my town and one at another town close by in Indiana.
Jay Budd - I just looked it up though and the nearest one to me is roughly 417 miles away. Thanks anyway though!
Excellent tips I just purchased my first one today. I am glad to know it's pretty easy care. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck with it!
@@ioanadumitrescu3836 Thanks
@@tamekahill2826 Uh- I am getting one soon enough, any tips?
@@ioanadumitrescu3836 I only had mine for a weeks now. I have it bright light I only water it once. This orchid isn't that picky on it condition if you comfortable it comfortable.Happy growing and stay safe.
@@tamekahill2826 Thanks! You too!
My cane broke completely off recently when I was moving. I was heartbroken. It still has really healthy leaves so I still water it. Hopefully more canes will grow.
I have mine in mango tree wood at my terrace, really hot all year, 50% shade cloth, water everyday, food every friday!!! Tons of roots and babys!!! 😘😘😘
Gosh thank you so much for this care vid. Im leaving in singapore and dammm i think im lucky to keep.this orchid hehehehe anw thank you again for the care vid.love ur vids
13:50 plants loose water through transportation Danny.... still very useful videos love😍😍😍😍
This orchid likes a very small pot. 2.5 inches pot with ventilation hole works well and use sphangum moss to cover all the roots. Water it when the moss is dry. The most important thing is this orchid likes warm temperature and not fluctuate much, keep it at the warmest point of the house.
these orchids are so common in singapore that they're probably your first orchid!
If you want to get these denphals for cheap. Like really reallly cheap. Just come to India a riot , a spectrum, a truckload of different colors are to be found and the are so damn cheap for their size. Like big blooming ones are for 600 ruppes(7euro) for four. Last year i got 15 medium sized ones for 1500 (18euros) only!!!!!!. And they are found pretty much all year round in the Northeast (from where i am) and the South .
Please do come here for cheap orchids. You people will love it.
And these are amazingly easy to grow so i have 21 of these alone!
Oishanu,
With lots of love from Assam😙
Hey dear please guide me how can I get fromassam via courier post
i Love these orchids, they do so well for me in the UK, very hardy.
I live in the Uk too..but as Danni said they are very hot growers I'm surprised they do so well in the UK? I would like to get one but was concerned with our cold UK winter's it would affect the growth?
I just bought 3!!!😍😍😍
Makes around 50 orchids for me!!!
@@carolprenger1240 HOW do you manage to take care of them all?! Wow! Happy growing!
@@ioanadumitrescu3836 I have a green house
Nice can grow in subtropical conditions temp. range 5-45 C
Thank you very much for your inspiring and informative video. May I please ask if we can put our Dendrobium Phalaenopsis Orchids outdoor in the summer while they are in semi hydro (leca) set up?
In INDIA, these orchid is cheapest ,and very easy to find,and in 1000 of colours available....and they love semihydro...
Yes you are absolutely right 👍
But we have to pay extra attention during summer especially in central region of India ...
Brazil the same...
wow, I have a hard time finding dens in a variety of colors.
You can buy it online or can contact local nurseries sometimes local nurseries bring them on orders
@@marissamaharaj304 try pots and patels .in
Dani, my den phal is spiking for a second time May & Oct. Bringing inside for winter. Mine is abt 2ft high, purple, abt 4" pot. Thanks for great video. How do you control mites?
I just got a Dendrobium Red Emperor. It says it's a hybrid of New Comet and Benikujyaku. I'm excited to see what it does.
Hi, thank you for all your info. Interesting, Im in Florida, so I guess similar temperature to you. I've just picked up some new dendr phals from orchid nursery and they have them in sphagnum moss. They are in bloom and look great now. Would you suggest to repot them in bark after blooming? Thank you
Hi Danni,
I love your videos! ❤
I just bought Dendronium seedlings. These are my first time with these types of orchids. I live in Boston which is currently freezing and we don’t get much sunlight.
I have managed the temperature and have bought artificial plant lights for my seedlings. Unfortunately, I haven’t found information online about the number of hours of artificial lights these orchids require.
Can you help me out? What is the amount of hours of artificial lights do you recommend for the Dendrobium seedlings?
Thanks a million! 😊😊
Hi , I have several denphals doing really great in South Florida. I love you tutorial but would like to ask for your opinion on one issue that was not covered. The old, dry-looking stems. I do know that they contain nutrients and water and should not be cut. But some of them are several years old and are “stuck” in their dry state without leaves or any growth. So, the question is : at what point is it ok to remove/cut them? I could enclose pictures if that would be helpful. Love your channel, wishing you all the best!
Hello, love your video, i have a problem with my dendrobium, it is forming flowers but the leaves are yellowing??
Hello Dani, I started collecting about a year now, but I have had den phals since Feb of this year. I live in the Caribbean and grow my dens on a warm balcony. My den phals have been growing growing growing very very well. I am a bit concerned though that none of my den phals have bloomed yet as they have kept growing and sending out new canes the moment the existing growing cane matures. Can a mature cane bloom even if a cane is still growing on the same plant? What are the blooming months for these types of orchids?
I have den phal with 13 to 14 cm wide flower, preety big flowers...
I live in the UK and have a Purple happiness. Would it benefit from being misted at the base if it dries out between waterings?
I always wanted to try my hand on denphals, but I don't think I have enough space for them in my kitchen. 😁 Do you think that maybe an Enobi type of dendrobium would stay more compact? I also have a problem with their sheaths for pest harboring, I'm scared I can't detect them in time. 😟
Hi Danny, what would make the plant abort the bloom? My new bloom got yellow just as it started to show of the plant, also would an older cane boom?
Thanks Dani! Always learn so much from your videos. I just purchased a couple of dendrobiums with buds over a week ago but I am not seeing any blooming flowers. I live in the Caribbean and keep the orchids in the shade on my veranda. I’ve soaked them in fertilizer and water twice for 10 minutes each time. Any idea how long it takes to see buds open? Am I doing something wrong?🤔
Hello Marlina! I truly believe that soaking is the best for most orchids. I soak my dendrobium for 25 to 30 minutes, once a week on summer! And 15 to 20 minutes on winter and bring them indoors. Sun for 2 hours in the morning and fertilize 2 times a month. It is a blessing to live in the Caribbean! Soak a little longer and I believe you might have BEAUTIFUL orchids blooms in no time. I hope this helps! 😜
@@jenniferdiaz9575 Thanks Jennifer!
I have been treating my dendrobium all wrong. Thanks for the education.
Could you provide a how-to video on tying canes on tall Dendrobiums to help keep a balanced center of gravity?
Hi Danni, I have a dendrobium which was very neglected. The stems are very long (2-3 feet) leggy and woody with many aerial roots. Is it okay to trim the stems and replant the cuttings with aerial roots?
When repotting these, how do you tell if the roots are alive? Do you need to trim the dead roots like you would do on a phal? Do you have a video on this already that I have not watched?
I have 3 small ones and they are growing slowly.
Hi! Should we cut denphal’s flower spike after blooming if it’s still green? And how low?
Por favor queria legendas em Português.
Obrigada
Hello Miss Orchid. I bought Dendrobium. The flower stem had finished blooming and was already cut above the notch. Will this stem bloom again ? There are 5 cane stalks the tallest is 30 inches. I do find your videos helpful.
cause my father is moving to a care house i am taking over a few denphals🙌but do i have to give them a soak once a while followed by feeding or several times a week and do you put spaghin between the leica it is a new orchid for me but one iss starting to takev off in growing🤗
Do you cut off the flower spike when it's done blooming?
Dani, I rec'd 7 cm dendrobium, what medium to use for such small/ young plant? Thank you
Hi Danni, where did u buy your different colour of Denrobium? They’re beautiful. I only have the light purple flowers. I love your videos very informative thanks for sharing💕
Hi, just local flowershops, they can be pretty common ☺️
So does these plants need constant watering/watered- is that why you put a wick inside the pot?
Do they like being constantly wet?
Cause I was given a cutting and I’ve got in in a glass vase with water, and new roots are growing- but I’m noticing some are browning- is that normal or should I put in bark medium?
I was given an orchid from my mum's collection which I thought was a cattleya, now I'm thinking maybe it's a dendrobrium??! No flowers so.. maybe I need to rewatch your ID video 😅
hello dany,i have some denphals without leaves.i think i made a mistake and lost their leaves.i took them in my office having constant temperature 22-24 degrees.bulbs are seem to be healthy.what do you suggest me to get new leaves?
I have a Dendrobium blue diamond that have lost all his roots. What can I do to save it? 🙏Thank you!!!
My mini denphal seedling may have thought it was dying it sprouted about 4 kiekies and 1 new growth. The mother plant looks like it's just slowly depleting itself for the babies but I am hoping she pulls through
Im in Nairobi Kenya, Africa and its our winter june july and my dendrobium is flowering and the leaves are yellowing i must be watering and the cold must getting to them... its 12*Celcius most of the time i will move them somewhere warmer then my window seal.
how do you treat for spider mites?
I am tempted to try breeding this orchid, as it is said is easy to care, but I have doubts since I leave in a North-East oriented apartment, with @22 Celsius degrees in winter. Maybe keep it near the window and the heater. What do you think?
When you said that they are not deciduous I became worried. I bought a white with violet and a violet dendrobium phalanopsis.
The white's cane feel soft and the leaves are yellowing and now falling. I'm scared it's dying. I'll try to hold back on the watering.
Hi Danny,
My dendrobiums are so big and tall and the pots are so small that they topple over even if I stake it. Any suggestions?
I just rescued a Dendrobium phal. I had blooms for about a month. The blooms are all done. Now what do I do?. I can't seem to find if I should cut the spike or leave it
are they the same as dendrobium sa-nooks?
My canes lost all their leaves after blooming, didn't have many to start with when they were given to me at Christmas in bloom. A year later and they have a lot of new growth from the bottom and one of the new canes bloomed, but still no new leaves on the old, bare canes. I cut off the driest-looking one and surprisingly it was green inside. Will they ever grow new leaves.
Would you know why the leaves on my oncidium twinkle are turning yellow and eventually browning and falling off? It has tons of roots and tons of pseudobulbs and 5-6 new growths, the only problem is the leaves. I've been told everything from too much light to under fertilized to over fertilized. The yellowing usually starts at the tip of the leaf or the center and spreads out/down.
Hi, I think I have a suspicion, too high temperature. This, or very dry environment, so try to see if these can be improved. I always have leaf tip dieback on mine, but I live in a hot climate :)
MissOrchidGirl it's kept indoors in a temperature controlled room where it's around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and I have it in water culture. Plus, the humidity in our home is around 50% constantly. It's getting cooler soon so I'll see if maybe it was too hot for it.
Nope 70 is not too hot. Well then my guess was wrong, tipically these orchids have issues in these departments. Then we must think about more serious problems, like nutrient deficiency or pest infestations, or even too cold water all the time. Hard to pin point it but you see better how it manifests. Check this out www.cloudsorchids.com/doctor/dspots.htm as a side note, sharry baby is related to twinkles, most things apply to both ;)
Hi Logan, if the temps are not the problem, and these brown tipped leaves are ones that grew under your care, my inclination is calcium. Try adding more to your media, you need calcium to grow strong healthy plants. Good luck
HI there can they be ok in India where it goes to 49 degs C!!
MissOrchidGirl
Can you tell me what are those black spots on the leaves at 12:52 I have my Polar Fire with the same issue. Are they sunburn, fungal, spider mites?
I think those are from the leaves being sunburned
Please tell what do u mean by late afternoon
A matured dendrobium with more than 10 canes and 3 flowerspikes costs just 300 rupees in india i mean 4$ for a specimen size dendrobium and different colours available here
Hehe you are so lucky :D
@@MissOrchidGirl omg i thought when u say lucky i have been a winner of giveaway😅 i just need to read the rules of how to send an orchid from india to cyprus then i will give u a gift thats sure here there are issues in getting phytosanity certificate😤😬
JAGADISH KUMAR Once you find out how much the phyto is, could you check for the USA? I’d pay you extra, because it's so hard to find those here!
@@sippigrrrl
I just ran across some DenPhals at Kroger's here in Ohio...First time I have ever seen anything besides Phals at Kroger.
The lady said she had ordered them for sweetest day. I'm not sure what part of the US you live, but if you have a Kroger's. It's worth a shot to check. It probably depends on each individual store. I have bought two at 25% off, and I think I'm going back to get another one. So excited to have different orchids available in my little town. Good luck!
Shell Leasure I live in New Orleans, we don’t have Kroger here! So lame! The orchids that I’ve managed to buy in person have mostly come from Trader Joe’s, and while they’re always blooming and just stunning, I have to immediately repot them, because they’re always potted in medium that’s questionable at best. I got two Cattleyas that were in what appeared to be dirt, with a bit of vermiculite thrown in to make it look a bit better. Luckily, my exploits have taught me to be very gentle while repotting my orchids, and most of the time, they’re not even set back anymore. I will definitely stop at Kroger the next time I see one, because they’re in Texas (Houston, plus there’s an IKEA there. ‘Nuff said.) and there are Krogers as close as Jackson, MS, which is two hours away, depending upon how bad the traffic is, plus our RUclips channel is taking video of road trips, so I think I can find a few places we haven’t been to yet, and they may happen to have a Kroger’s, and I’ll load up! I even go to the orange and blue home improvement stores and look at their stock. They think that all orchids require bright light, so all of the Phals are usually in rough shape, but I picked up a whole bunch of Dendrobium Nobiles that they assumed were dead because they had dropped their leaves and they weren’t flowering anymore. I got the whole clearance rack for about $1 for each plant, I let them keep the ugly decorative planter that I would have immediately removed anyway because I put all of my orchids in clear vases or clear plastic pots, that I drill two holes into an area about two inches up from the bottom to do my semihydro. They’ve always come back to life quickly and they’re happy! I have a phal that is deciding to send me a nice Christmas flower stalk. Their internal clocks get all messed up because they’re outside in the hot and humid weather and then they get taken inside when they’re not “pretty enough” anymore, and nobody even waters them. I’ll definitely have to make a pilgrimage to a Kroger’s, even just to get some decent produce! Thanks for the tip!
Hi Danny,what is that yellow colour in your white den phal cane?is it due to more light exposure
Hi, it's not yellow, maybe that's how it looks on camera? It's the natural coloration for the white one.
MissOrchidGirl ok😊
How long do the flowers last
Are any of them small plants? I need one max of 30 cm
What's the difference between a nobile and a phalanenopsis orchid
Where can I buy Lica mixture?
I bought a dendrobium Caesar Warawan from a local grower and she had it in sphagnam moss and soil :(
I have this orchid for year and a half already and it has not bloomed again for me. :( It’s growing with two growth times per year. But no blooms.
Its sistem hidro ?
