Hello again 🌸 Thank you so very much for inspiring me to put orchids out ! - I never thought of that before - on sunny days , when I am home , I now place them in indirect sunlight under my patio roof - and we all ❤🌸🌸🌸 are happy ! Thank you !💕
Mona 😍💐hi!! It is so good to see you again 😃 thank you so much for not being a 'stranger' here 🫶🏼 isn't it wonderful, though, to see an orchid outside where it actually 'should be' when the opportunity arises? I love it when I get to have mine outside instead of cooped up indoors! Woohoo!! I am glad to read your excitement in the comment and thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏼 thank you, also, for your time and support. Hope you are having a beautiful day 🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi Irene! 🤗💐 thank you... thank you so very much for your kind feedback and for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate it! I hope that you are doing well, amiga!! Have a wonderful day 🌸
HI 🤩💐 I LOVE this orchid! She really is beautiful and, in the coming days, there will be an update on her. I had to divide her last year, so, she lost 50% of her size, but is doing well, despite that massive intervention! ruclips.net/video/5iaZVXsfxp0/видео.html here is the video, if you would like to have a look at that operation 😅 thank you so much for watching 🙌🏼🌸
Hi Michelle 😍💐 she is... a little lopsided, but, .... incredible and all I can say is, just like with Cousin It, 'I am doing nothing!' 😬 well, not quite, but... considering how she performs, it feels as though I am doing nothing! I hope that you have a wonderful Thursday!! Stay safe!! 🌸
Hi Danni! 🥰💐 she is a big and beautiful one, yep! Love the 'easy no nonsense' orchids and then, boom! Fleurs! Cousin It falls into that category as well. I will have to divide this one, though this year. Some divisions have been promised, so... that is going to be interesting and a big mess 😬 Thank you for taking the time to watch, my summer sandals friend 😍❤️🌸
You like?? Your keikis are blooming as well 🥰 Looking good here and I am happy to say that the orchids I have you on the list for, for this year, will be just fine by the time they get shipped ... I hope you do not mind the wait. Thank you for being so patient! ❤️🌸
Hi, lovely lady! 😍💐 thank you!! Thank you for your kind comment, and for once again watching my video! So very much appreciated 🌸 have a wonderful day 🌸
Hi Mona 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and secondly, a big thank YOU for being here, for watching and your comment. I really appreciate your time and support 🫶🏼 hope to see you more often and wish you a wonderful start to the new week ❤️🌸
HI Ileen 😍💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so first of all, a warm warm welcome and a big thank YOU for being here, for watching the video and your kind feedback! Your time is truly appreciated 🫶🏼 I hope you are having a wonderful week and look forward to seeing you again ❤️🌸
HI Anne 🤗💐 my goodness, you have been busy! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the videos today! I so very much appreciate it 🥰 the Berry 'Oda', and the Colmanara Masai 'Red' are the signals for me that I have been making videos for a year now... 🤦🏼♀️😃 the Easter Sunday Video will mark 1 year... Incredible! But, yes.... this one is like this for this time, the last time, because it will be divided, I have people that want a division... it also needs a revamp in the pot, so, as much as I love this spectacle, in order to get it to do that again in 2 years, we will be going in at such a time that it is the right time, and start again with 30%. 🌸
Funny thing is i just literally discovered my berry oda just got a spike out of no where. I'm in Australia and its Autum here so i was so suprised to see the spike as i thought they bloom in the spring.
Hi there! 🤗💐 I get that as well, with this one, ... autumn, one or 2 little random spikes pop up, especially when we have a wonderful Indian Summer. Give them enough warmth, through Fall, and they do their little 'here I am' thing 😊 thank you so very much for watching! Have yourself a fantastic evening 🌸
Makes me want to try dendrobiums again ;) I stopped long ago because here they were such a magnet for aphids that I couldnt get rid of them in time in spring and those were driving the plants downhill quickly, but nowadays with the bugscreen enclosed shelf it might be easier.
Hi Julien!! 🤗💐 yep... the aphids were especially high in numbers this year... I had to be super vigilant, weird considering how nasty the weather was recently 🤷🏼♀️ I am now using a garlic infused alcohol solution ... I have not seen aphids back, but of course, that is not what I can spray on buds, BUT, the garlic seems to act as a repellent and once I had blasted the aphids off and sprayed the leaves with the garlic infusion, I have not seen them back ruclips.net/video/wUc41OqWohM/видео.html don't know if you watched this video, but it is where I started the experiment. Especially on the latouria dens, and so far so good!! 👍🏼 And the orchid does not smell of garlic... but there is something that the bugs sense and they stay away from it, which is what I find pretty cool 😊 Thank you so much for watching, Julien, have yourself a wonderful day 🌸
Oh man this is a beautiful one. I just commented on fernanda's video that I really like the flowers. When I have more room one day I'm going to need to add this to my list. I have two purple Dendrobiums, I like them.
Hi Nicole 🤗💐 she is a gorgeous specimen... but won't be after I am done with her... she needs a revamp, clean up, and I have promised pieces of her, so... we are going to down size 😬 should be a good thing though, so 'they' say 😅 Thank you so much for watching!! Much appreciated 🌸
Ninaaaa!! You know I love your Berry Oda and the hibiki the most!! And what a treat it was today to watch this for meeeee!!!!!!! 🤩🤩The Berry Oda is great specimen now... am I right? 🥳🥳 I got small keikies of Berry Oda which I’m looking forward to grow like yours!! Other channels are popular now because of you!! You are very generous to think of doing this care collab that brings most of the orchid community together. I saw William Green also doing one with you!! Great work!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Anishkaaaa!! HI!!! 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 those keikis will take off in no time! Once they grow new growths, those will bloom too .... doesn't take long for this orchid to start to be a happy camper 👍🏼 I am glad that you are seeing CareCollabs popping up, and that you see the reasons behind this initiative! I am so glad that there are channels out there participating 😊 It was so good to have someone with the caliber of William Green be open to this... and I hope that we can do more in the future. I have my maxima coming into bloom in a few weeks and a follow up on this orchid would be fantastic to do with mine in bloom, and I hope that he has time to join in when the time comes. It is nice to get all the channels together, especially us little channels, and to make a statement, that, here we are and we have something to say and show 😍 Love it, and I am glad that you are enjoying seeing the different channels! Thank you so much for your kind comment, Anishka! So very much appreciate it! Sometimes I sit at night, like a scribe in a monastery working in candle light 😅 Your support is so very much appreciated! Thank you 😘😘❤️🌸
Hi Darcy 🤗💐 There is an equivalent to this, probably more available in the US, called Dendrobium Johnathan's Glory... honestly, going by the pictures, I cannot tell a difference, but maybe you would like to see if you can source that one? Thank you for watching this video as well, Darcy! Really appreciate your support 😍🌸
A amazingly gorgeous orchid! We’ll done for caring so well for it to become so big! Wonderful video carecollabe ( I just watched Fernanda’s). I think the cold is the only thing it needs to bloom and as you said still need water in winter. Don’t you water her less in winter I assume?Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
Hi Mary 🤗💐 watering in winter can be a double whammy... I water her, less fertilizer, but then it can sporadically rain, so... it can get a bit more than I would have bargained for, but, I take the mask off so that the rain water just drains through. But I do not give it a winter rest, because it appears to always be doing something, even if the winter growths mature a little smaller, it always gets fertilized. Later in the season, it will be divided, and I have you down for a division... are you still interested? Thank you for watching 🌸
Hi 💐🏵️my Berry Oda is with me since 2019 and she has not bloomed not a single time. She grew like weeds but not a single spike. I think my mistakes were the lack of rest in any aspect (I always watered and added fertilizer) and although I provided some cold temperature she didn't go below 13 for more than 1 week. Additionally thrips have bitten all her leaves during the summer as I can see they turned greyish like there is no substance inside.. but the leaves don't fall off 🤷. I think I know what l need to change in order to make her live the happier . Thanks 😊 for your video. I always check RUclips in the morning while I drink my coffee to know more about your technics and growing tips. 💐
Alex, hi!! 🤗💐 the thrips... I am now figuring out that my garden centre gave me the wrong diagnosis regarding 'moth larvae'... the symptoms you describe is exactly like the keiki I show in the video. Silvery leaves from having the substance sucked out of them, but they do not fall off! If you say the same thing and say it is thrips, then, my garden centre sent me down a frustrating rabbit hole for the past 3 years and I was treating the orchids affected for something that it wasn't! ruclips.net/video/wUc41OqWohM/видео.html here is a video of a garlic infusion I made on camera, and am applying it to all the orchids that showed these symptoms last year.... So far, I am seeing that new growths are coming out clean! It is especially prominent on the latouria dens... maybe it could be something you can copy? The garlic seems to act as a repellant long after the alcohol has evaporated. In your climate, you can leave your Berry 'Oda' outside ... let the weather do the taking care! If it rains, so be it, if it doesn't then help it along with water, if it is growing new growths, fertilize but at a lower ppm than you would in summer. Judging by what you are saying, you have a big one already, so.... next year, there should be an explosion of spikes! 👍🏼 I so look forward to, fast forward this time next year, and read a message from you telling me how beautiful her fragrance is 😉 thank YOU so very much for watching, Alex! Have a great day 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids if this helps you I usually prepare a spray bottle with 500 ml of water + 1 tea spoon of potassium soap (from Mercadona) + 5-6 ml neem oil. You can also replace neem oil with baby johnson corporal oil. I shake it very well to let it mix properly and spray the plant like crazy ... They die after some applications because they life cycle is short and tend to reproduce very fast but eggs don't die until they hatch.
@@diagnostics07 thank you for this added intel! Good to have multiple weapons in the arsenal and I will check out the potassium soap from Mercadona! So nice to be able to talk to someone who can pinpoint products that I know where to look for instead of having to do the massive google search and see if I can source something related! Mercadona... next time, I will have a look! Thank you!
🦒🌺🌺!!!! Oh yessss!!! A wonderful must have orchid. Just let it grow and what a wonderful show. Luckily the aphids have not found mine yet nor have the caterpillars that have been eating other buds!!!! Such an orchid is a delight considering it blooms late winter. Have a wonderful, enjoy the fragrance and the colourful pretty blooms vecina favorita ❤️. Mingi mingi hugggssss 🤗🤗😍
FFF 🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 This year, I had to be super vigilant of the aphids as the spikes grew... 15 some blooms as collateral damage is not too bad, but I was surprised that there was such 'interest'! Forgive me for not having commented on your video yet, I was so tired last night, I went to bed 'early' and had a lot of catching up to do from things that didn't get done yesterday... I want to take my time and sit / watch... sometimes I have to leave my couch and have headphones in, but, based on the last video, while I was away you spoke of your nubbins, I did not know which orchid you were referring to, and I don't want to repeat that again. I will be 'there'!! 😘 thank YOU so much for your patience with me, for your support... for doing these CareCollabs, taking time out of your busy schedule... it is so very much appreciated, meine liebe Freundin!! ❤️ Beautiful sun out today, and for some reason... silence! I have a lot more catching up to do ... seems like yesterday I got stuff done, but it added a double load for today... don't know how that happens 🤷🏼♀️ Enjoy a lovely Thursday, amiga mia!! Much love to you and all your loved ones, thinking of your family as well 🌹🌸
Nina hai proprio una pianta STUPENDA!!! quanto mi piace e mi piace soprattutto quello che hai scritto sulle sue esigenze. Mi dispiace che dove vivo io non sia reperibile nei 3 gardens della mia città, ma voglio memorizzarne il nome perché resta nei miei desideri. Se hai qualche consiglio su dove trovarla ti assicuro che è ben accetto. Un grosso saluto
Ciao Luciana 😍💐 Grazie mille per aver dedicato del tempo a guardare questo video, apprezzo sempre molto questo supporto 🫶🏼 Mi capita di avere una grande fonte di questa orchidea, ma sfortunatamente non è di dimensioni mature. Ho 4 keiki in un pacchetto più altri dell'anno scorso, che fioriranno in primavera, di questo sono certo e sarei felice di venderteli a un prezzo di amicizia se desideri averli. 😃 Per favore non sentirti obbligato ad accettare, ma se sei interessato, mandami un'e-mail a ninjaorchids@gmail.com dove potremo discutere i dettagli e poi vedere se sei veramente interessato. 😊 Non mi offenderò se non sei interessato ai keiki freschi per il 2023 e che iniziano a maturare a partire dal 2022. Entrambi i pacchetti sono stabiliti in roccia lavica e semi idro. Ma come puoi vedere, man mano che maturano, amano anche la leca. 👍🏼 Spero che tu abbia passato uno splendido martedì! Questa settimana sono in TV in tutta Italia, perché sono un grande appassionato di golf. La Ryder Cup nella mia città preferita al mondo, questa settimana è tutta incentrata su Bella Italia, Bella Luciana 😍🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi there! 🤗💐 she is, indeed! I am so happy to have one that I can now divide and send on to others, which is what is going to happen with her later in the year... so... there will be carnage, but, it will do her good as well. More room in a pot and we can start again 😊 I am enjoying this display immensely, knowing what I am going to be doing to her down the line 😬 thank YOU for taking the time to watch! Much appreciated, Reah! Have yourself a wonderful day as well, and... stay safe, as well, my friend! 🌸
Hi Nina. I really like your Dendrobium !! I have question that the media on your video look like you feed her all the time is clay pebbles ? It is not bark ? Thanks !!! Bytheway, is that the plastic pot you keep her all years long or that is ceramic pot?
Hi Dickson 🤗💐 a warm warm welcome to my comments' section!! I have not seen you here before, so... I really appreciate that you took the time to watch and leave me a comment, so that I can say 'Welcome!!' 🥰 I grow 80% of my orchids in clay pebbles, yes, and others in lava rock, seramis or akadama. It is a plastic pot ruclips.net/video/bzKzkligpEI/видео.html here is a video in which I show all my pots, in case you would like to see what I use. I hope to see you here more often, thank you so much, once again for watching and leaving a comment 🌸 wishing you a wonderful day 🌸
Hi Maykel 🤗💐 she is a biggy, yes.... and I love her for being so no nonsense! Bought something small at the garden centre 3 years ago, and boom! 🤣 👍🏼 fits right in with Cousin It... no nonsense and very rewarding! The Berry 'Oda' has that extra cross in it's parentage, the Johnathan's Glory doesn't but it looks exactly the same from what I can tell in pictures. I thought, maybe, that they were in actual fact the same but the US or Canada just calls them different, but no... they are different orchids... I have had questions about how to find Berry 'Oda' in the past, so... it is nice to be able to offer an alternative! Forgive me for not having jumped to your video yet, it was a very busy day in my home yesterday, and that adds to the workload today, having to catch up on what I couldn't do yesterday and what needs to be done with the 'chids today! Promise to sit down and have a chill cup of tea and watch your video, Maykel! Thank you for your patience with me. BTW... do you have a Nobile? General hybrid? I am in the process of coordinating a CareCollab for that, general care for complex nobile hybrids. Let me know! I appreciate your continued support on this CareCollab initiative!! 🙏🏼🥰🌸
No problem nina you haven't watched it yet, sometime life just gets in the way and that still is way more important then yt. Watch the loddigesii carecollab too, look who i chartered for it 😁 Yes i do have a nobile hybrid. No buds yet though :( but fill me in for another carecollab 😁 Have a nice day Nina and stay safe
Care for Berry Oda: Water and feed the hell out of it when growing, ignore it for a couple months, enjoy the blooms. A lot of the kingianum hybrids are easy to care for and are deliciously fragrant, though some are easier to flower than others (they're all easier than the species). You would think the individual blooms would last longer with biggibum and canaliculatum in the parentage. Holy Christmas, that is one glorious display though. Shame the aphids attack some of the spikes. I have two other kingi hybrids coming into bloom, I have to photo them tomorrow or the next day. Much better blooming this year versus last year, though still not as good as a couple of years ago. I'm happy with it though.
Don Miguel 😍💐 I agree that the kingianum on it's own, probably needs a little more targeted care, than what I am throwing at the Berry 'Oda' ... maybe the individual bloom duration has something to do with my climate, but I am already picking off spent blooms before spikes are fully open... not THAT many, but, it happens on the regular. Still... this will last approx 2 months, so, that is all I need to know that it is a keeper, along with the easy care... much like Cousin It 👍🏼 since I blasted the aphids off, and the sprayed the leaves with the garlic solution, no more aphids... I am beginning to really love this garlic alcohol thing! 👍🏼 the new growths on my other latouria dens are so far clean 🤞🏼 Latouria dens unite! Bloom time for them 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ Thank you so very much for taking the time to watch, Michael! Really appreciate your support.... I say it, I mean it!! 😘 have a wonderful day 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Individual blooms don't last long on Jonathan's Glory, either, which is really similar in appearance. But, in the main, none of my kingianum hybrids hold blooms long (about a week from when they open to when they fall). It doesn't matter to me that they don't last because I love the look (so cute) and the fragrance of them and I get a couple of weeks out of a spike.
Hi Uyo 🤩💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so a warm warm welcome and thank you so much for being here, for watching the video and asking for more info! Also, congratulations on your newcomer!! 🥳🙌🏼 In this video, the orchid is 3 years old and is triple the size it was compared to when I bought it. In the same year, I divided it decimating it so that I could give 2 sizeable divisions away. If you are interested in seeing what I was left with, and what size the divisions were ruclips.net/video/5iaZVXsfxp0/видео.html here is the link to that video, and it took a year to get back to what it was before I divided it, an update video on that is in this link ruclips.net/video/vrj-idmP_a0/видео.html 😃 they are vigorous once they settle into their new home, and the beauty of them, on top of all that is, they will produce keikis 👍🏼 I hope that you find this helpful and if you ever have any questions as you get to know your Berry 'Oda', please always feel free to ask under any video, no matter the subject. Hope your day was fabulous and once again, welcome 🤗🌸
Chleoi 🤩💐 it is good to see you again! I hope that you are doing well 🤗 There is an alternative to Berry 'Oda' available in the US, called Dendrobium Jonathan's Glory. Same growth habit very very similar blooms, just as vigorous, same care requirements and fragrance etc etc. If I were not told any different, just looking at the images of Jonathan's Glory, I would say they are one and the same hybrid. I hope that this helps you find this kind of an orchid because so worth it, and very rewarding 👍🏼 really appreciate you watching this video, Chleoi! Hope you are having a beautiful Sunday 🌸
Hi Nina ! Do you know where I can find a fragrant berry Oda ? I found some saller on Ebay but they said their berry oda individuals are not fragrant ... I live in Paris so my economic region is the same as yours so maybe I can get one in span if you have a saler to recommande me :) thanks a lot for your videos
Bilgehan 🤩💐Hi there!! Good to see you again 🙌🏼 thank you so much for watching again! To my understanding, every Berry Oda is fragrant if the orchid has enough light. The fragrance really develops when the sun shines on the orchid. So, maybe the sellers you are asking are not able to verify that because if they Berry Odas bloom, the orchids are not exposed to direct sun. If you have a seller that you are comfortable with, or you might want to check out Orchideen Wichmann, they have them at a discount price with 6 bloom spikes, here is the link www.orchideen-wichmann.de/en/dendrobium-berry-oda.html I have ordered from Wichmann before and was not disappointed in the quality of their orchids. I do have some keikis in cultivation from my Berry Oda, but they are a long way off performing to such a degree that they will bloom. Sun is important for the fragrance 👍🏼👍🏼 I hope this helps, and I hope that you get yourself a beautiful Berry Oda, because... they are truly amazing! I hope that you are doing well, Bilgehan 🥰🌸
Hi Ian! 🤗💐 perhaps you can look and see if you can get a real close alternative called Dendrobium Johnathan's Glory? It has one less parent in it than the Berry 'Oda', which has another added hybrid in the parentage, Johanathan's Glory does not have that, but same growth habit, the blooms look the same (as from what I can gather via pics only) and.... same fragrance. Maybe that one is readily available in Canada? thank you so much for being here, Ian, for coming to have a look see! A warm warm welcome to my comments' section, seeing as I have not seen you here before... at least, I hope I did not miss a comment of your's in the past! Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for watching 🌸

But I do not give it a winter rest, because it appears to always be doing something, even if the winter growths mature a little smaller, it always gets fertilized. Later in the season, it will be divided, and I have you down for a division... are you still interested? Thank you for watching 🌸
Hi 💐🏵️my Berry Oda is with me since 2019 and she has not bloomed not a single time. She grew like weeds but not a single spike. I think my mistakes were the lack of rest in any aspect (I always watered and added fertilizer) and although I provided some cold temperature she didn't go below 13 for more than 1 week. Additionally thrips have bitten all her leaves during the summer as I can see they turned greyish like there is no substance inside.. but the leaves don't fall off 🤷. I think I know what l need to change in order to make her live the happier . Thanks 😊 for your video. I always check RUclips in the morning while I drink my coffee to know more about your technics and growing tips. 💐
Alex, hi!! 🤗💐 the thrips... I am now figuring out that my garden centre gave me the wrong diagnosis regarding 'moth larvae'... the symptoms you describe is exactly like the keiki I show in the video. Silvery leaves from having the substance sucked out of them, but they do not fall off! If you say the same thing and say it is thrips, then, my garden centre sent me down a frustrating rabbit hole for the past 3 years and I was treating the orchids affected for something that it wasn't! ruclips.net/video/wUc41OqWohM/видео.html here is a video of a garlic infusion I made on camera, and am applying it to all the orchids that showed these symptoms last year.... So far, I am seeing that new growths are coming out clean! It is especially prominent on the latouria dens... maybe it could be something you can copy? The garlic seems to act as a repellant long after the alcohol has evaporated. In your climate, you can leave your Berry 'Oda' outside ... let the weather do the taking care! If it rains, so be it, if it doesn't then help it along with water, if it is growing new growths, fertilize but at a lower ppm than you would in summer. Judging by what you are saying, you have a big one already, so.... next year, there should be an explosion of spikes! 👍🏼 I so look forward to, fast forward this time next year, and read a message from you telling me how beautiful her fragrance is 😉 thank YOU so very much for watching, Alex! Have a great day 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids if this helps you I usually prepare a spray bottle with 500 ml of water + 1 tea spoon of potassium soap (from Mercadona) + 5-6 ml neem oil. You can also replace neem oil with baby johnson corporal oil. I shake it very well to let it mix properly and spray the plant like crazy ... They die after some applications because they life cycle is short and tend to reproduce very fast but eggs don't die until they hatch.
@@diagnostics07 thank you for this added intel! Good to have multiple weapons in the arsenal and I will check out the potassium soap from Mercadona! So nice to be able to talk to someone who can pinpoint products that I know where to look for instead of having to do the massive google search and see if I can source something related! Mercadona... next time, I will have a look! Thank you!
🦒🌺🌺!!!! Oh yessss!!! A wonderful must have orchid. Just let it grow and what a wonderful show. Luckily the aphids have not found mine yet nor have the caterpillars that have been eating other buds!!!! Such an orchid is a delight considering it blooms late winter.
Have a wonderful, enjoy the fragrance and the colourful pretty blooms vecina favorita ❤️.
Mingi mingi hugggssss 🤗🤗😍
FFF 🙌🏼🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🥰💐 This year, I had to be super vigilant of the aphids as the spikes grew... 15 some blooms as collateral damage is not too bad, but I was surprised that there was such 'interest'! Forgive me for not having commented on your video yet, I was so tired last night, I went to bed 'early' and had a lot of catching up to do from things that didn't get done yesterday... I want to take my time and sit / watch... sometimes I have to leave my couch and have headphones in, but, based on the last video, while I was away you spoke of your nubbins, I did not know which orchid you were referring to, and I don't want to repeat that again. I will be 'there'!! 😘 thank YOU so much for your patience with me, for your support... for doing these CareCollabs, taking time out of your busy schedule... it is so very much appreciated, meine liebe Freundin!! ❤️ Beautiful sun out today, and for some reason... silence! I have a lot more catching up to do ... seems like yesterday I got stuff done, but it added a double load for today... don't know how that happens 🤷🏼♀️ Enjoy a lovely Thursday, amiga mia!! Much love to you and all your loved ones, thinking of your family as well 🌹🌸
Nina hai proprio una pianta STUPENDA!!! quanto mi piace e mi piace soprattutto quello che hai scritto sulle sue esigenze. Mi dispiace che dove vivo io non sia reperibile nei 3 gardens della mia città, ma voglio memorizzarne il nome perché resta nei miei desideri. Se hai qualche consiglio su dove trovarla ti assicuro che è ben accetto. Un grosso saluto
Ciao Luciana 😍💐 Grazie mille per aver dedicato del tempo a guardare questo video, apprezzo sempre molto questo supporto 🫶🏼 Mi capita di avere una grande fonte di questa orchidea, ma sfortunatamente non è di dimensioni mature. Ho 4 keiki in un pacchetto più altri dell'anno scorso, che fioriranno in primavera, di questo sono certo e sarei felice di venderteli a un prezzo di amicizia se desideri averli. 😃 Per favore non sentirti obbligato ad accettare, ma se sei interessato, mandami un'e-mail a ninjaorchids@gmail.com dove potremo discutere i dettagli e poi vedere se sei veramente interessato. 😊 Non mi offenderò se non sei interessato ai keiki freschi per il 2023 e che iniziano a maturare a partire dal 2022. Entrambi i pacchetti sono stabiliti in roccia lavica e semi idro. Ma come puoi vedere, man mano che maturano, amano anche la leca. 👍🏼 Spero che tu abbia passato uno splendido martedì! Questa settimana sono in TV in tutta Italia, perché sono un grande appassionato di golf. La Ryder Cup nella mia città preferita al mondo, questa settimana è tutta incentrata su Bella Italia, Bella Luciana 😍🫶🏼❤️🌸
Hi Nina this orchid Berry Oda is gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing your care tips. Have a wonderful day keep safe and happy growing : ) Reah
Hi there! 🤗💐 she is, indeed! I am so happy to have one that I can now divide and send on to others, which is what is going to happen with her later in the year... so... there will be carnage, but, it will do her good as well. More room in a pot and we can start again 😊 I am enjoying this display immensely, knowing what I am going to be doing to her down the line 😬 thank YOU for taking the time to watch! Much appreciated, Reah! Have yourself a wonderful day as well, and... stay safe, as well, my friend! 🌸
Hi Nina. I really like your Dendrobium !! I have question that the media on your video look like you feed her all the time is clay pebbles ? It is not bark ? Thanks !!! Bytheway, is that the plastic pot you keep her all years long or that is ceramic pot?
Hi Dickson 🤗💐 a warm warm welcome to my comments' section!! I have not seen you here before, so... I really appreciate that you took the time to watch and leave me a comment, so that I can say 'Welcome!!' 🥰 I grow 80% of my orchids in clay pebbles, yes, and others in lava rock, seramis or akadama. It is a plastic pot ruclips.net/video/bzKzkligpEI/видео.html here is a video in which I show all my pots, in case you would like to see what I use. I hope to see you here more often, thank you so much, once again for watching and leaving a comment 🌸 wishing you a wonderful day 🌸
That is a beautiful version, WOW!
Didn't know it was a cross between a hybrid and kingianum
Hi Maykel 🤗💐 she is a biggy, yes.... and I love her for being so no nonsense! Bought something small at the garden centre 3 years ago, and boom! 🤣 👍🏼 fits right in with Cousin It... no nonsense and very rewarding! The Berry 'Oda' has that extra cross in it's parentage, the Johnathan's Glory doesn't but it looks exactly the same from what I can tell in pictures. I thought, maybe, that they were in actual fact the same but the US or Canada just calls them different, but no... they are different orchids... I have had questions about how to find Berry 'Oda' in the past, so... it is nice to be able to offer an alternative! Forgive me for not having jumped to your video yet, it was a very busy day in my home yesterday, and that adds to the workload today, having to catch up on what I couldn't do yesterday and what needs to be done with the 'chids today! Promise to sit down and have a chill cup of tea and watch your video, Maykel! Thank you for your patience with me. BTW... do you have a Nobile? General hybrid? I am in the process of coordinating a CareCollab for that, general care for complex nobile hybrids. Let me know! I appreciate your continued support on this CareCollab initiative!! 🙏🏼🥰🌸
No problem nina you haven't watched it yet, sometime life just gets in the way and that still is way more important then yt. Watch the loddigesii carecollab too, look who i chartered for it 😁
Yes i do have a nobile hybrid. No buds yet though :( but fill me in for another carecollab 😁
Have a nice day Nina and stay safe
@@aBeekeepersLife will do, on all of the above and email for nobile is on the way to suggest date!
Care for Berry Oda: Water and feed the hell out of it when growing, ignore it for a couple months, enjoy the blooms. A lot of the kingianum hybrids are easy to care for and are deliciously fragrant, though some are easier to flower than others (they're all easier than the species). You would think the individual blooms would last longer with biggibum and canaliculatum in the parentage.
Holy Christmas, that is one glorious display though. Shame the aphids attack some of the spikes. I have two other kingi hybrids coming into bloom, I have to photo them tomorrow or the next day. Much better blooming this year versus last year, though still not as good as a couple of years ago. I'm happy with it though.
Don Miguel 😍💐 I agree that the kingianum on it's own, probably needs a little more targeted care, than what I am throwing at the Berry 'Oda' ... maybe the individual bloom duration has something to do with my climate, but I am already picking off spent blooms before spikes are fully open... not THAT many, but, it happens on the regular. Still... this will last approx 2 months, so, that is all I need to know that it is a keeper, along with the easy care... much like Cousin It 👍🏼 since I blasted the aphids off, and the sprayed the leaves with the garlic solution, no more aphids... I am beginning to really love this garlic alcohol thing! 👍🏼 the new growths on my other latouria dens are so far clean 🤞🏼 Latouria dens unite! Bloom time for them 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ Thank you so very much for taking the time to watch, Michael! Really appreciate your support.... I say it, I mean it!! 😘 have a wonderful day 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids Individual blooms don't last long on Jonathan's Glory, either, which is really similar in appearance. But, in the main, none of my kingianum hybrids hold blooms long (about a week from when they open to when they fall). It doesn't matter to me that they don't last because I love the look (so cute) and the fragrance of them and I get a couple of weeks out of a spike.
May I know how old this specimen is? I just got a really small one and I am wondering how fast it will grow.
Hi Uyo 🤩💐 welcome! I have not seen you here before, so a warm warm welcome and thank you so much for being here, for watching the video and asking for more info! Also, congratulations on your newcomer!! 🥳🙌🏼 In this video, the orchid is 3 years old and is triple the size it was compared to when I bought it. In the same year, I divided it decimating it so that I could give 2 sizeable divisions away. If you are interested in seeing what I was left with, and what size the divisions were ruclips.net/video/5iaZVXsfxp0/видео.html here is the link to that video, and it took a year to get back to what it was before I divided it, an update video on that is in this link ruclips.net/video/vrj-idmP_a0/видео.html 😃 they are vigorous once they settle into their new home, and the beauty of them, on top of all that is, they will produce keikis 👍🏼 I hope that you find this helpful and if you ever have any questions as you get to know your Berry 'Oda', please always feel free to ask under any video, no matter the subject. Hope your day was fabulous and once again, welcome 🤗🌸
Hi Nina,
I can't find this Dundrobium in the US. If anyone knows who sells it here, please let me know!
Chleoi 🤩💐 it is good to see you again! I hope that you are doing well 🤗 There is an alternative to Berry 'Oda' available in the US, called Dendrobium Jonathan's Glory. Same growth habit very very similar blooms, just as vigorous, same care requirements and fragrance etc etc. If I were not told any different, just looking at the images of Jonathan's Glory, I would say they are one and the same hybrid. I hope that this helps you find this kind of an orchid because so worth it, and very rewarding 👍🏼 really appreciate you watching this video, Chleoi! Hope you are having a beautiful Sunday 🌸
Hi Nina !
Do you know where I can find a fragrant berry Oda ? I found some saller on Ebay but they said their berry oda individuals are not fragrant ...
I live in Paris so my economic region is the same as yours so maybe I can get one in span if you have a saler to recommande me :)
thanks a lot for your videos
Bilgehan 🤩💐Hi there!! Good to see you again 🙌🏼 thank you so much for watching again! To my understanding, every Berry Oda is fragrant if the orchid has enough light. The fragrance really develops when the sun shines on the orchid. So, maybe the sellers you are asking are not able to verify that because if they Berry Odas bloom, the orchids are not exposed to direct sun. If you have a seller that you are comfortable with, or you might want to check out Orchideen Wichmann, they have them at a discount price with 6 bloom spikes, here is the link www.orchideen-wichmann.de/en/dendrobium-berry-oda.html I have ordered from Wichmann before and was not disappointed in the quality of their orchids. I do have some keikis in cultivation from my Berry Oda, but they are a long way off performing to such a degree that they will bloom. Sun is important for the fragrance 👍🏼👍🏼 I hope this helps, and I hope that you get yourself a beautiful Berry Oda, because... they are truly amazing! I hope that you are doing well, Bilgehan 🥰🌸
I can’t find it here in Canada :(
Hi Ian! 🤗💐 perhaps you can look and see if you can get a real close alternative called Dendrobium Johnathan's Glory? It has one less parent in it than the Berry 'Oda', which has another added hybrid in the parentage, Johanathan's Glory does not have that, but same growth habit, the blooms look the same (as from what I can gather via pics only) and.... same fragrance. Maybe that one is readily available in Canada? thank you so much for being here, Ian, for coming to have a look see! A warm warm welcome to my comments' section, seeing as I have not seen you here before... at least, I hope I did not miss a comment of your's in the past! Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for watching 🌸
@@NinjaOrchids thank you for the warm welcome I really enjoy your videos
Thank you! 🌸
