- Miltoniopsis Orchid Care and how to bloom your Orchid
Miltoniopsis do well in the average home or intermediate temperature greenhouse. A night temperature between 55-65 degrees F. and a daytime temperature between 70-80 degrees F. works well. They will tolerate higher or lower temperatures, but not for extended periods of time.
Miltoniopsis like to be kept fairly moist with a slight drying between watering. During warm dry weather, they may need to be watered 2-3 times a week, during cool weather 1-2 times a week. A sure sign of under watering would be the formation of wrinkled accordion-like pleated leaves. If this happens, increase your watering. However, this type of leaf wrinkle can also develop from over watering. Over watering causes the roots to rot, therefore depriving the plant from absorbing water because of the lack of roots. Remove the plant from the medium and check the roots if uncertain.

Brad, I have seen this video more times than I can recall. I return to it because your information is excellent. Thank you for keeping it online. I'd appreciate knowing the name of this Miltoniopsis; it is glorious!. I'm a great admirer of roses and having a Miltoniopsis with that fragrance would bring me a lot of happiness. Again, thank you very much!
I never get tired of watching this video, I just luv your Miltoniopsis in this video ;)
I absolutely loved that you were holding the plant the whole time! So nice video..and orchid!
Gorgeous display of flowers
Your Miltoniopsis orchid looks beautiful Brad. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Mads,
Glad you enjoyed.
The Milts are one of my very favorite orchids. I love the dependable display. They give so much pleasure for a relatively easy care plant. Wish I had more room for the large plants.
Brad, thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge about growing the Miltoniopsis orchid. I have ordered three to begin a small collection. Thanks again.
Thank for this down to earth video explaining the care for this type. I have just bought my first one after moving on from Phalaenopsis.
Absolutely beautiful....! So full .... I just bought one today in bloom....!
Your videos are so informative, thank you!
Thank you for posting this video. Your Miltoniopsis is lovely.
Thank you for sharing easy to understand tips to growing and fostering blooms for this orchid. I'm confident my students will enjoy watching your tutorial to support their research into growing orchids. (February 20, 2016)
That's a very impressive display! Beautiful!
thank you very important information I finally i got this kind of orchid today it smell so good.
Wow that’s got a beautiful flower! And you’ve kept it in great condition 👍🏻 well done
Such a stunning specimen!
Thanks Formula! they are wonderful plants, one of my favs
Such a great bloom I'm so jealous! :D subscribe about the Vanda video, you MUST!
Hi Brad - that's an awesome Miltoniopsis you have there, I just picked up my first one the other day from Trader Joe's. I had it sitting on the dining room table but after watching your video I put it right out to the greenhouse where the humidity is high. Thanks for the knowledge ;}
Beautiful orchid!
It's just stunning!
Hi Tosh,
Very good point, I do keep a close eye on it and will repot early if the bark goes dark and soft. That is a good thing to remind every one of though!
Brad
Spectacular orchid
I just made It... for you guys... at your request. Gotta keep the Orchid peeps happy!
Thanks Juliana, glad you enjoy, more to come. :)
Amazing and beautiful, thanks for the information love all your videos and look forward to more of your videos on orchid care in the future.
Very helpful thank you
Very helpful. Thank you x
Thank you!
Absolutely stunning....!
thanks amiel
beautiful plant!
Absolutely beautiful Brad! I wish you were around yrs ago when I had mine. At that time I was new yo orchids and killed the little guy. I'm considering on buying another one. The blooms remind me of gardening with my grandmother when I was a little boy.
So many flowers ! :)
GORGEOUS
gorgeous brad! my miltoniopsis is growing so many new bulbs right now! since Ifeb it's out out two spikes but they haven't developed into any blooms....I think I have to list more for humidity. as always your videos, orchids and greenhouse are a feast for the eyes! :)
Excellent video, very informative. I apreciate very much any information I can put my hands on about those beauties, thank you and happy growing :-) xxx
Absolutely beautiful! I couldn't use your green thumb. I've had trial and error over the past years. So far the last two were great for me. My two phal are giving me baby's. :)
Me fascinó la información muchas gracias saludos desde México
thanks
Thanks!
fantastic
Congrats on the baby Phal's! They don't do that to often, good luck with them.
It's beautiful Brad!! You did a great job of taking care of it, mine died : ( . But like the saying goes "If you don't succeed, try and try again" I'll get it some time sooner or later. Keep on bringing those fantastic videos, I appreciate them : )
aww sorry your died. glad you appreciate the videos!
Thanks Chris, hope yours blooms soon. maybe as it cools down in the fall
This milt is so beautiful! I just bought my very first today... Bert Fields 'Leah' but probably a misprint of 'Leash' since that's all i've seen on the net. Live in Colorado at 8000'. It is dry but will place above a good ultrasonic fogger.
the greenhouse looks good these days, lots of sun in July
Hi Brad, I bought a miltoniopsis Rouge Picardie today and it is beautiful. Yours is exceptional though,probably the fruit of a few years of development. Thanks for this interesting video. The challenge will be to maintain a 70% humidity, difficult to do here in Canada.
They are beautiful! I say go for it! Next time you see one don't pass it up!
beautiful plant
Susan's prairie orchids thank you Susan
Nice
Wow those spikes are so generous, congratulations. The leaves are also very good-looking, it is enjoying the conditions you provide.
My Miltoniopsis flowered, but each spike had one or two flower. Maby I was not giving it enough water. It's in full bark. Next repot I'll put some sphagnum moss on top as you recommand.
ToshAroundMac thanks! well one or two blooms is better than none, maybe just a young plant
one question though, acordeon shped leaves mean low humidity? not underwatering?
would be pretty close yes, they do grow and bloom slowly. They Like it surprisingly cool and humid as well.
Thanks ecbacani, and thank you for watching.
Love this orchid! I just purchased a few of them, some Miltoniopsis, Miltonidium and Cyrtonipsis which I have tried to get information on, but can't find!
Your miltoniposis looks absolutely gorgeous. Bravo, c'est une belle réussite. I don't want to sound like an ass, but carefull about letting it in the same pot two years. Because miltoniopsis wants its substrate always humid, it decomposes faster and it is advised to repot yearly. (Unlike phals and cattleyas that can wait two years.) I wish miltoniopsis was avaliable near where I live, but the only time I saw one was at the yearly orchid exposition.
Hi Richard, you can post photos on Facebook, link is in the channel banner. I'm not sure that a Phal has a bloom season but I wouldn't worry about seperating it to soon anyway but just use a scalpel . It will need a good root system first.
What a beautiful orchid! One thing you didn't mention is what to do when the blooms die, do I cut the spike at the base or just leave it alone? Thanks!
Hi Brad, congranulations on you succes, I have them for a year now, but the new shoots are wrinkely, and now I learnt I should increase humidity. Thanks for sharing this valuable experiance, Brad :) May I ask, do old bulbs produce new spikes; and do you remove the leaves that are disturbing new growth?
Love your channel. As a novice i am learning so much from you. I have a militinia that blooms but I am unsure about how much to fertilize. Blooms are small. Any suggestions?ThanksPaula
Miltoniopsis are a species but this is an unknown hybrid. good question and thanks for watching.
could be either, lack of H20 in general.
Hi Rico,
probably could but I don't have much experience with those topics im afraid
Hello, Brad! Your miltoniopsis is stunning! I've noticed some brown spots on the leaves. My miltoniopsis has the same spots. I cut the leaves. Is it a kind of infection?
hi brad, I bought a miltoniopsis a few months back which was in bloom, the blooms died off but I haven't had any new growth. am I doing something wrong?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell us you've made and are going to post the video of the spotted purplish blooming vanda over the weekend!!!!!!
Hi Brad!! I live in Miami, FL
I just recently purchased one of these beauties..
I currently have it in my home with air conditioning due to that it really gets hot outside 91F. It gets plenty of light but not directly. What tips can you give me?
Thank you! I'm thinking they went in to shock or tried to spike on an off season?.. There's one thing I need to know. My larger phal keiki so close to the mother. How would I separate it? I can send you photos of the plants.
I like watching your videos, and this orchid had never seen the is so strange , is a hybrid ? , Greetings Brad .
A Trader Joe's near me has a Milt. Bert Field 'Eileen'. I'm sorry to hear they don't do as well in the house.
Gorgeous, Brad. Fertilizer???
🌺
My Miltonia is really pot bound with roots... is it best to leave them like that? or should i up the pot size a little? i think there are 3 or 4 plants in a 4 inch square plastic pot.
Hey Brad! Why are your flowers not fully open when in bloom ? I have the same problem !
Can you grow these Hydro style? Maybe a dwc?
how much time does it take to notice if im giving my orchid too much or too little light?
Hi Brad I'm not sure how to link the two together.
I know this is an older video, but any chance you know why a miltoniopsis won’t open its blooms? Or won’t expand all the way?
I purchased this miltoniopsis and it came with buds from California an I’m in Louisiana and have not repotted because had two beautiful spikes and they are blasting is that common because of the climate change from shipping or what? Help would u know?
just pick one up from the thrift store for $4! I went to check its root system and saw that it was rooted in soil! the roots look white and healthy but it still has buds so i cannot repot it! please tell me what to do.
Mine is not doing too well. The leafed are turning yellow with black spots 😱 do you have any suggestions?
I have the same miltoniopsis, but a little bit more purple.
David Reeves Nice!
i have a odontonia, is it the same growing condition? my is growing so very slowly that i am thinking i am not providing all it needs, thx
do you have a problem with algae in the mix?
I don’t understand the idea of “deep apple green”. Green apples are a very light colour???
Why does mine grow brown on the top leaves.it looks like wet but it isn't at all.I cut it off and spray with physan and it comes back.what is it..driving me insane.anymore cutting and my leaf is going to be really short.
Just head to my main channel page, in my colourful banner that Says Brads Greenhouse there is a link to my Facebook page:)
I purchased one of these in early June. It had spikes which just developed flowers three weeks ago. I was very excited. However, one by one each flower went limp and fell off. I'm devastated. It was in a cool (76F) window with filtered light and I watered it with distilled water when dry. Any ideas?
Nita Haas hope it's not too late, but Miltoniopsis should never dry out they should be kept constantly moist! The cool window with low light conditions sounds right.
Hi Brad, you you keep you orchids inside the greenhouse all year long? In the summer is it hot in the greenhouse? What region are you from if you don't mind me asking. I plant to build a greenhouse to pit these guys inside. I have phalaenopsis, oncidium, cattleya, miltonia, denrobium, and vanda. Please let me know. Thanks
Hi Jimmy, yes I leave the orchids in the greenhouse all summer long. I living in zone 8B, Canada. I have cooling systems, and air-conditioner misting systems etc.
Thanks for responding to me Brad. I live in zone 8a in dallas texas usa. In the summer temperature get up to 100 degree. How is the temperature in Canada in the summer. Also, what is the temperature inside your greenhouse Brad? Which cooling system are you using. This is my new hobby. Just start.about 6 months ago. Sorry for all the question ☺ and thank you for any advice.
I was told that this flower shape was a miltonia orchid, not miltoniopsis. how can Itell the difference?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😫
What fertilizer?
Brad, I was finally able to get Miltoniopsis. I bought it from a super market lol. How and when shall I repot it up? The blooms already died off and I don't want to wait to long to repot it since I'm not sure how long it's been in it's pot.
I would pot it up like an Oncidium but add extra moss to your mix. They don't like to dry out.
Okay! I think I can use what I got from my local orchid grower. I'm sort what you use in your videos minus the moss. It's in a four inch tall pot with slits. What size should I use or put it in the same pot?
Probably use the same pot if it fits. If you have or can find some extra sphagnum moss, i'd chop some up and put in the mix as well.
Okay thanks! When I repot it I'll have to see what size it will fits in.
What size of pot is your Miltoniopopsis in?
Can't help you with that last one, are you sure the tag is correct? Send me a photo on my Facebook page. Photo of the bloom would help to.
What is the name of this Miltoniopsis?
re-pot, they hate old media, it will do it good.
por favor q los vídeos se traduzcan al español. Porque los q no sabemos inglés que???
Ça donne quoi en français?
Algues me traduz isso em portugues ?
I meant "mist" not "list" ...
