Thanks for the video. i have an oncidium red ruby and one of the bulbs turned a different shade of green and it's not that firm anymore and i have been struggling with the decision of should i cut or should i not. i don't know how it started, there was no visible wound, but i did find a bunch of moss in the pot, right in the middle of the roots, and half of it was very dark brown. i cleaned all that up and put the orchid in new medium but did not cut the bulb yet... maybe i should wait a bit more and see what happens
I dont know what medical surplus is like in your country, but I find that incurved scissors, meant for sutures, make this kind of hygiene/maintenance work much easier.
Hyacinthe de la Sinthomée That's what I use! I was in a bad car accident three years ago, and I still have a lot of suture removal kits. They come in a sterilized package, and there's a pair of nice bent tweezers included with the little scissors. I'll use a set for a while, sterilizing them before and after each use. Once the scissors aren't sharp anymore, I use a new set. My surgeon is so generous with the kits, I guess because I am still needing to use them.
Just had to do this to a Cymbidium, and you either didn't show it or got lucky as the pseudobulb exploded when I moved it a little to cut it. ALL OVER, and glad I had gloves on which I learned to do from you
I wonder if the juices from the rotting psuedobulb leaked onto the medium when you cut them, and if so, would the pathenogens transfer to the root system.
When pseudobulbs do this, as an inexperienced grower, I would have thought there were two possible explanations. One is that they might have an infection and the other is that it might simply be old age. In the first case there might well be a chance that the infection could spread but in the other I'd guess that the plant would have a natural process to accommodate the loss of the old structure. Have you any thoughts, Danni?
In my case I've got a baby pseudobulb that is rotting, and the mother pseudobulb that it's attached to is starting to change color too. I'm concerned this one might rot too
Hello Danny what to do if the plant have no root especially for the Denderobiums, after I spray it with peroxide then place the cinnamon on them should I put in a dry container first, if so so how long, oh i forget to tell you i have to be trying them in water culture now. when growing orchids in water culture should I let them remained in the water continuously or give them a break.

Hi Danni, do you know why new pseudo bulbs do not fully grow our of the leave? And if they stay that way for close to a year, will they ever grow out of the leave at all or they will stay like that forever.
What can I do with a new sherry baby sudabulb that is very withered? I have repotted it in bark and spag moss, vermiculite and a few leak beads. I am doing my best to keep it wet. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!💕 oh ps I live in Las Vegas NV!
Lol did that to my orchids too. Not for experiments but I was lazy. One kept rotting until I had to remove and repot. Another one dried up and rot stopped.
My Sharry baby has a giant pseudobulb which has a chunk taken out of it and the area around it is yellowish brown but it is still firm and it is not spreading. Should I remove it?
Hello, is it possible for my sharry baby pseudobulb to start becoming slightly soft after the medium gets bone dry? Can oncidium pseudobulbs get wrinkled after a day of being dry? I'm using leca and it dries within a day. I'm not really affected by watering them everyday but I'm just curious what will happen if I leave the medium dry.
great info as always. so i have an unrelated question for you, someone recently told me that phalaenopsis are a type of vanda I cant seem to find any truth to this and thought i would ask you if this is the case?
Hi, well no Phals are a different genus all together, they are monopodials like Vandas yes, but just like Cattleyas and Dendrobiums are both sympodial, but different genera, so are Vandas and Phals ;) as my other viewer suggested though.. we all pretty much have a common ancestor if you go back enough so.. they are related lol
I am lucky to not have much issues with this, so the best thing to do is follow Ray's advice firstrays.com/semi-hydroponic-culture/sh-detailed-information/preparing-media-for-use/
It makes sense that these pseudobulbs woundn't spread infections frequently, because this is the way these orchids live in nature.
Thank you you have taught me so much about looking after my orchids

Steve Shoemaker, ewe. Thanks for NOT SHARING, Danny
I have the exact same orchid! Glad to know it's name now :)
thank you, I appreciate you take time and show us different procedures :) in different situations. :)
Hi Dani, from South Africa, would you leave the rotten pseudobulb to dry or rather remove it??? Which is better.
Nice to know. Thank you.

No they didn't :)
My orchids are dried..are they can grow again??
Yes they can,

Great! I like all about oncidiuns!

Love your channel!! I bet you’ll have 90k tomorrow!

This tutorial was a year ago. Do you have an update? I am fighting orange rot in Miltoniopsis. I am using Physan 20, H202 and cinnamon.
I think a complexity to the orange rot includes the fact Miltoniopsis must be kept humid (not soggy) but moist.

If a plant is healthy it will close off damaged parts on it's own, but who wants to take the risk ;-)
I'm trying semi-hydro with some orchids and the new roots don't like the leca, they die off when they touch it, do you know why that would be?
Hi, yes it might be the salt contained in the leca (if you did not fertilize). Did you soak the leca?
MissOrchidGirl I soaked it but not very long, not overnight or anything. How long do you recommend to soak it?

That was really interesting :D
This what happened to my sharry baby T_T it was fast
