This is such a clear and thorough beginner guide. I really thought I could not grow these because they did not root well or spike in my kitchen...semi hydro or organic..but since putting them into a HOT room, they are doing great. Thank you!! 😅
Den Phal hybrids can be fragrant, but these usually have shorter lived blooms and don't "look" like Den Phals. My absolute favorite is Jaquelyn Thomas (gouldii x biggibum). It is a beast of a plant but the blooms are lovely, last a decent amount of time (about 3 weeks) and have a lovely fragrance. I love it enough to have two of the 'Unawai Supreme' (blue and white) clone and one of the 'Unawai Mist' (white).
I need to look that one up. I'm very happy with the pink sparkle you gave me. Look at her increasing bloom count over two years later since you gave her to me, and as you said, she remained small. I still have the gatton Sunray which is a beast for me, but no blooms yet! We'll see how it goes, it outgrew my shelves 😂
Thanks for the tips. I purchased my den from a grower on Etsy. It was a freebee. No id, so i have no idea the color of the blooms or how big it may grow. Im just finding out what it likes and its happy place. Warmth and plenty of light. Got it!
I recently picked out a dendrobium from a local store, passing over the oncidium sharry baby there that I had thought I wanted. It was labeled dendrobium assorted 😐, but looks like Aridang Blue. Very tall lol!
I have a dendrobium nobile with a little new growth on the bottom. I spritz no big drink or fertilizer. I just brought a dendrobium Phalaenopsis. It has a little spike, I think . But it is slow because I am assuming because of the season.
They do grow faster in the summer when the doctors are hot. Nobiles are different though and tend to bloom after a period with no fertilizer and cooler periods.
hi! very useful short video! is it possible to you make something similar about Coelogynes? Do you have any positive experience with them? (I constantly struggle to make them grow adequately).
Thank you 💖 I don't have any coelogynes but maybe miss Orchid Girl has some content on that one :) will need to try growing it one day. I appreciate you watching!
Thank you so much for this info. I am very new to Dendrobium's (I'm a beginner with Orchids), I have 2 which are: Dendrobium Areedung Blue Unique Yellow and Dendrobium Blackberry x Aredung Light Blue. How would I know if these two are Phal Dendrobium or the others types you mentioned?
You could look up the parents to see, usually it's on a site like orchid roots. Many even if they have a little bit of the biggibum family will usually thrive with the same care.
I love these and have a few but for about a year some of them have a horrible leaf spotty disease. I tried spraying them with fungicide and, as nothing worked, i tried submerging whole plants in bleach solution but they still have the same disease which destroys the leaves. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? In the UK by the way. I really enjoy your videos Nicole. 😊
I'm glad you enjoy the videos ❤️ I appreciate you watching! The leaf spotting has happened to me as well and I actually lost my Dendrobium Buttercup because of it. Some one told me they think it happened because they believe it was a very hot grower and the spots would happen because of cooler temps before the growth hardened off, I've never been able to figure it out, but have witnessed it too!
I know nothing about den phals, except that now I know the name. Lol. I'm nurturing a bunch of cattleya and dendrobium anosmum babies right now. I need to see how they go before I add another kind of orchid. Currently, are chugging along while I spend too much time propagating houseplants just because I can. Stop me before I prop again!

@@alanm9523 I'm so glad the video helped ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Nicole. You gave me several facts . One, heat and two high light. I only have one, Polar Fire. Happy first day of fall. 👏🥰❤️
Happy first day of fall to you too ❤️❤️ yes, the warmer and more light the better they grow :)) Thanks for watching :)

I love the nobile type. I have a few that are fragrant.
They are nice! Just flower less, but I do enjoy that the nobiles are fragrant too!

That pink/green one is awesome!
That one is Den. Buttercup :)
They love full sunlight Mine loves it and does really well when I give her some sun
My friend has really good sun and her apartment is very warm and all her Dendrobiums are ENORMOUS. They do love it

Hello Nicole - The links that you have above for the MSU Fertilizers are not correct. It brings up plastic planter pots. 🙂
Thank you for letting me know. I'll go through the links and update them today!
Thank you!
I live in Jamaica and grow mine outside. The downsize to my growing is slugs and snails..even when you use slug bait..the grow very easy
Ahh they do so much damage! I'm glad they grow easily though, there's always pros and cons indoors and out. Thanks for watching ❤️

I heard the 'Berry-Oda' cultivar is fragrant and a mini. True?
It will stay pretty small since Dendrobium kingianum is one of the parents
I don't know since I don't have this one, but I can confirm the kingianum parent is fragrant
After it blooms and flowers die off, do you cut the branch off?
@@MichaelOsterhout-r8s I do

@@NicoleDeannathat's interesting and would make sense in my climate. Poor things. Sorry about your Buttercup. ❤

Haha, it's fun to prop plants! Understandable to get a handle on the others before introducing another one!
Good morning 🙌🙌🙌🙌
