Tip for re-potting: I learned this from an orchid botanist in Chicago. Instead of cutting the entire root off, you can just pull (strip off) the velamen by gently pulling with your fingers, and leaving the actual string-like actual root intact. The actual string-like root never seems to decay and can be used to help anchor the orchid in the new pot when re-potting. (I'm sure they do actually decay as they are organic material, but the amount and rate are so slow as to be negligible. It is the velamen surrounding the actual root that gives us problems.)
Bought a Miltoniopsis yesterday one large and one small pseudobulb, buds are opening,gorgeous, but I’m told that it’s not a plant for a beginner, paid too much money for it ($50us) but being a beginner that is almost inevitable, live and learn.
Thanks for sharing Danny!! I have a miltoniopsis that I think is the same one. It looks very similar to me at least. Hope everything goes ok with your miltoniopsis:)
Good idea to repotting the miltonia,beautiful color has the flowers I think you successfull in this .thanks Dany for your suggestion to talk to my doctors I'm better but I changes my plants to the places just my violets because was in my bedroom window so bad for them, is it good for me. Saludos Lidia.
Hi Danny. I also bought a miltoniopsis with only one pseudo bulb and I was like WTF?! 😑But it was so pretty that I couldn't resist to get it, anyways, I repotted it and I discovered that it's growing two new grows one on each side just like yours, you mentioned in the video you can try to train the orchid to fill the pot in other directions, how can you do that? It would be a good idea for a video. Cheers from Toronto, Canada ❄️☃️
Hi Danni, great repotting video. I have a question, how many eyes do a cattleya have? I'm asking because I bought a new cattleya a few weeks ago ( Cattleya Warner, Semi-Alba Showoff X L Purpurata El Supremo ), it was a division three psuebulbs it was sent bare roots, but most of the roots were dead, so I potted it with bark and moss. I wanted to help it grow more roots, so I kept the moss moist on top. Sadly this caused the tiny new growth to rot. I'm really hoping that the orchid start another new growth, but guess I will have to wait. Do you think a cattleya will be able to recover and start a new growth?
+Ryan C Hi, some products are not properly desalted and stripped of tanins, it depends on brand. Also the material is very fine and can be detrimental for epiphyte orchid roots in certain set ups and environments.
Hi Danni, today when I watered my small mtps, it wobbled badly in the LECA it was in. I discovered it had no roots so I bag and sphagged it. What would you have done? I don't have seramis, just Hydroton.
I just purchased milt. lennart Karl Gottling Red Rim.. I live in Miami FL. I am currently keeping it indoors because it is very warm outside.. I am going to repot it soon.. what media do you recommend for my environment ? Any other tips? Hope to hear from your soon
How do you go about training growths on a Miltoniopsis or any similar orchid? It looks so much better with the growths spread out a bit, however the few Im getting are stubborn to say the least. Also, the growths on that Nobile was definitely flower spikes, and it looks like its just a matter of weeks until I get flowers. :3
Hydrogene peroxide = Wasserstoffperoxid (für die Desinfektion der Wurzeln). Dani sagt in dem Video, dass Wasserstoffperoxid eventuelle Schnecken und Schneckeneier sowie Pilzinfektionen abtöten kann.

Just came home and - wow! A Miltoniopsis video!

I always learn from your videos. excellent 😉
I wanted to repot a not so well miltoniopsis today, so this came in perfectly! Sadly I only have small grade seramis, but ill mix in some leca :)
NesuChambers Hey! How was this mix for you? I'm thinking of doing the same :)
I kindly request a miltoniopsis update...
Hi there, how is she doing so far? waiting for your update. I have also a miltoniopsis, repotted her after watching this video
Interesting 🧐

Great video. I might try dividing mine and potting it in seramis, it's huge but just dragging it's feet in life. 😧

What's wrong with the coco fiber? I run a nursery in San Diego and that is all I use and love it

If I don't have seramis, can I use gravel?

hi may I ask your pot size diameter
the base width and length pls

Aaaa its so weird to see you repot a miltoniopsis in ceramis and not sphagnum moss
No backup plan...more money cause you keep buying it! Sucks ...
