- I used to have quite a big Oncidium collection that I lost... again.. but this time due to a bad infestation of thrips and a very busy time in my life. But here are still a few I have, I guess the strongest ones :)

I bought 1 oncidium. Then I bought another. Then I bougth two more. Now tempted to buy 2 more.
I love the smell.
I would love some videos on the Zygopetalums. My oncidiums are okay, the Aliceara Peggy Ruth Carpenter is one of the hardiest I have.
Me too! I just received a Honolulu baby in the mail
👀 you having to resort to keeping some of your Oncidiums in a closed cabinet to keep the pests at bay reminds me of part of why I 💚 phalaenopsis hybrids so much🤗...They're usually low maintenance & their leaves don't seem to hide pests as easily.They're probably 1 of the least fussy plants I've ever had here in the Midwestern 🇺🇸.I've always liked phals but your channel is what really ignited my passion for them years ago because I learned how to take good care of them & I 👀 just how beautiful they really are when they're actually well cared for.Hats off to you for keeping at it with Oncidiums though...If there's 1 word I'd use to describe you it'd have to be that you're PERSEVERANT because you keep on trying even when things don't work out so well until you find a way to do things better both with plants & also with your life in general based on the things you've mentioned about having to deal with in some of your videos👍🏻.Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge about orchids & a little slice of your life with the rest of us...Keeping orchids really is a wonderful positive lifelong hobby🙂🍃.
Hi Danny, I very quickly saved my phalenopsis from trips thanks to the "bleach method". And also an oncidium with whiteflies. I change or disinfect the substrate (oven/microwave). The plant spends 10-15min completely immersed in a bleach solution (1/10) well brushed and cleaned between the leaves with a soft brush. Using D0mest0s is also very effective maybe even more because there is soap in it. Another 10-15min in clean water. Dry the plant well, leaves down, then repot. The important thing is also to disinfect the pot and the location of the orchid or move it while cleaning / disinfecting its usual location. The treatment requires a little time and effort but for me one treatment was enough. Good luck.
I love that for you, all orchids are equal. Whether they are "rare" varieties from specialized nurseries or just the bog-standard hybrids from grocery stores. Well done and thanks for concentrating on the hobby itself and not drifting into the gate-keepy corner of it.
Hi Danny, I'm happy to see your surviving Oncidiums are doing well! I would very much like to see an update on your Zygos as I am thinking about trying a few this spring!! Thank you for the update and DEATH to the THRIPS!!!
Your oncidium flowers are beautiful! I have 2 large pots of oncidiums with gorgeous, healthy foliage but no flower spikes or blooms yet. They get watered and fed regularly and love the grow lights. I've had one of them for 3 or 4 years and it has never bloomed. 🤷♀️ Orchids do teach patience!
I went to buy orchids today. They are all phals but I saw these and epidendrum and cattleya. Omg, what majestic plants....... Im exhausted, and broke.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your oncidiums. You really had such beautiful plants. And yes please make an update video on the zygopetalums, i would love to see that. Will you make an review video of the year and all the things that changed?
My Twinkle is blooming, its such a good bloomer! My Sharry Baby has gotten big but hasn’t bloomed so far.👍🏻
Thanks so much, you are teaching me a lot about 0rchids!!!!
Thank you for sharing! Hope this winter to see more updates at most of your orchids: den phals, den nobile, catts etc.
Beautiful colors and shape.
Love your channel! Thank you for all the valuable information , my 3 orchid that I transplanted are doing well.. flowers, buds, spikes! 😁 I live in Idaho and this winter trying not to let my home get to cold 65° and above . But it’s in the teens to 30°s outside.. love the Onisidiums
Always a pleasure!! I was reporting my oncidium and there were soooo many dead roots. I was like: what the eff?! I need to see how Danny deals with hers. Needless to say, I used more sphagnum moss. Thanks lady!
Give me oncidium content all day long, Dani!
Me too! I am in love with them because of their pseudobulbs! They are so cute!
Hello from Estonia! I use vodka for best control.The safest and most effective ,can be sprayed or put on the water. This one orchid could have been saved, he must have had too much water at the store. I would have lifted it out of the pot and removed the rotted roots. There should still be a place where the new bulbs will come from. I would live it to dry for 24 hours(or more) and then put it in a moist substrate.
Hi Danni, I love your videos. Well paced, very informative and plenty of personal experience. So glad I found your channel!
My cool growing Oncidiums are enjoying the colder temperatures here in Denmark in an unheated room. I have fragrant blooms on Odontoglossum naevium and a flower spike on an Odontoglossum crispum. I also have new growths on my two Beallaras - Hawaiian Nights and Marfitch Howard's Dream - but no flower spikes at the moment.
Do you have a Twinkle? If yes, how do you care for it here in Dk?
@@lorislane0 I do, but it's pretty neglected. The fact that it had survived my lack of interest speaks of its will to live.
@@kimdreyer4970 So the one I have must be very weak 😅
Thanks!
oh gosh sorry for the late reply, youtube doesn't show these comments on my phone :( thanks so much! 🧡
been dealing with thrips for 3 years and counting and oh boi do i understand your struggle
My Sotoanum , which has absolutely gorgeous soft pink flowers, and 3 Twinkles are doing well and blooming profusely. I also have 2 sharry baby’s that have just bloomed, however the largest one is getting a few yellowish leaves, I suspect it has a nutrient deficiency. I have not been keeping up with fertilizing this one, since it dried out so fast that I kept watering it in between my usual watering regime and kept forgetting to fertilize. I also have a Brassia type Shelob Tolkien that I am absolutely crazy about. The blooms are amazing and it has given me 2 bloom spikes this year. I have not had any pest issues with them in the past, but you just mentioning thrips is running shivers down my spine. I noticed my Calathea had spider mites last week, which has effected a few other plants. So now I am getting paranoid about pests ravaging my collection. I have been pest free for a number of years but I lost a good deal of orchids and other plants in the past because of them. I even bought myself a microscope to check my plants.
I have a Heaven Scent Redolence and the flower spike was very long. It was my first ever Sharry Baby bloom though so I wasn’t complaining!
Yes please, on zygopeds, have fallen in love with them, atm Oncidium s are my favourite💓 really appreciate your videos, the content is so thoughtful and clear for beginners like myself🤩
Waowww,,it's amazing orchids,,,it's beautyful🥰
Hi,, i'm orchids lover from.indonesia
My sharry baby gave 6 spikes this time... all are sequentially blooming with the wonderful milk chocolate smell...🥰😍🤩
Did you tried the sulfur hot box for pests? I think you should look in to it because is working for all sorts if pests and Powdery meal dew.
I just, last week, purchased an Oncidium which looks an awful lot like the first one you featured from your newly purchased oncidiums. Mine is called : Alcra. Stella “Hoku”. The lip is maybe a little lighter pink than yours but, very similar. I hope this helps😍
Yes please On the Zygopetalum update !
My Oncidiums doing great .
I've just recently bought a titanium treasure. It has enough pseudo bulbs I think and it looks as though there's a spike on the way but it's still within the leaf. The pseudobulbs were still wrinkly after watering so am a bit nervous and some black spots have started appearing on the leaves. Maybe I need to start collecting rain water. :/ I moved it to the window because one area of leaf looked to be paling in one patch. It's not hugely sunny where I am yet. I'll have to move it downstairs if we have another super hot summer tho. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed.
I've only dealt with mealy bugs but I would recommend using Diatomaceous
Earth. It is completely natural and effective. I ask you please to investigate its qualities and properties. Good luck.
I just have phal I’m scared to do other orchids but one day I will try to do other ones 😊
Hey Danni, that one you aren’t sure of looks exactly the same as my one. And my pot has ‘Cambria’ labelled on it
You asked about small or mini oncidiums? My first oncidium was a mini--it's called Gold Dust. I thought you'd like it, Danny, because it's a lovely golden yellow bloom, too!
Nice to see them again! One of mine has beautiful blooms now as well, but I am struggling with my Twinkle. I have no idea of what I am doing wrong. The previous time it grew pseudobulbs, the leaves got spots and their ends got brown. But it was not drying out or due to infection. Now the newer pseudobulbs didn't have som many sports but some leaves gor slightly brown and some of the pseudobulbs lost their leaves eventhough they are new. It also didn't give any flower spikes... 😓
Ah! It will be great to have an update on the zygos!!! Looking forward to it 😀
Yes, please do an update on Zygopetalums. I seem to remember a comment that your Zygopetalums don't have lack spots, but I can't find it.
Yes to the Zygo update!
I have an oncidium rescue. I think... I had to cut most of the roots off as they were brittle. Now I can't get it to stand up with long leaves. 😂😭
I'm hoping it'll grow new roots. I bought a grow lamp too, all the right medium, drilled holes in planters for air... No idea what kind of oncidium it is. I'm nervous it won't recover
Yes please on the zygo update!
I just got my first zygo. Would love to see a video about their care. Mine is currently in moss so that helps with my underwatering tendency a bit.
The one with the missing name looks to be identical to my - Alcra. Stellar 'Hoku'
I've been dealing with thrips lately, too, and I'm so over it, lol. I don't know why they suddenly decided to move into my house, but I'm pretty tired of dealing with them.
Heaven Scent Redolence flower spikes last for months
Do you still have Hilo Ablaze ‘Hilo Gold’ ? Probably not... I saw him on your channel 3 or 4 years ago and I wanted him ever since. Never found it. Oh, those lava colors! 💔
Omg it feels so weird not to see your face now 😂😂😭😭
Hi Danny!! Sorry you lost so many oncidiums 😢. I seem to have finally found a good rhythm with mine. Starting to see lots of new growths and what I think might be spikes starting to form.😁. Would definitely like to see a zygo update please as I lost one and just replaced it so I don’t want to mess up again 😬. I’m still a bit unsure how to tell thrips from other insects though. Btw, my 7 year old daughter says hi and she loves you!
Curious on your success with oncidiums? I’m losing the battle with mine.
@@ilovecoffeelol6170 water water water they are just so darn thirsty!
@@baltschoolofdance like every day? What time of medium? Thank you so much for sharing info with me
@@ilovecoffeelol6170 every other day and keep humidity up with humidifier
would love an update on your zygos
I have trouble with scale on my orchids, so I have Lady bugs here in Delaware that I bring in my sunroom. They eat the scale I don't see. That and Wolf or Jumping 🕷! They work overtime around all my tropicals! Fight fire with fire!
I don’t think I have any pests since I keep my orchids inside until it gets warmer outside n it’s pretty shady on my porch where I let them sit n then I will bring them back inside when the sun starts to reach them
I would appreciate a Zygopetalum video, if you haven't done one since.
I am enjoying your videos. Where do you get your decorative pots from. I would like to order some.
I love cymbidiums. Mine have a virus though. Makes me sad.
Yes please Zygo update. You were planting them in normal soil and than you had a kind of trouble and we never heard about them. I wonder which medium you are using at the moment 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love my Oncidiums and Your Sweatshirt!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❣️ How do I purchase the same sweatshirt???
I use a five gallon bucket so I can completely dunk my plant when treating them
Hi Danni, I just love looking at your videos, they are so detailed and easy to learn from. I've been looking at your Oncidium videos and I just can't find any that have an issue that looks like mine. I just had to cut 2 leaves shorter since they had this lighter green circle pattern with a dot in the middle. It looked like they were fading in the areas that had these spots. I sprayed with Physan 20 about 3 days ago but I'm not sure if I should use another item. The one I'm having issues with is Onc. Aka Baby. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Danny how are you? I have never managed to keep on oncidiums happy during the Greek summer. Could you do an update on how do you manage to keep them happy? Tips etc?
My Oncidium collection was sadly destroyed by a red spider mite infestation so now I've got only 3 of them. I've recently bought a Tiny Twinkle and it's currently producing blooms but it's a miniature orchid - so tiny that I'm afraid I'll need a magnifying glass to see the blooms. It's in a 5 cm pot and would easily fit into your cabinet.
I got 2 oncidums yesterday it was jam packed in sphagnum moss completely root bound. Do i need to remove the sphagnum or can i pot it with the spagnum?
@@chinmaymampilly2986 I always try to remove as much of it as possible and replace it with some fresh medium bc in most cases by the time we buy an orchid it's already decomposed. There are a few videos on this channel on repotting orchids in full sphag if you need help :)
@@Sandraa0721 yeah but the roots are so tightly bound that if I try to remove the spagnum it will damahe the root. Don know what to do plants i recived are so healthy.
@@chinmaymampilly2986 i don't know anything about your growing conditions but if your plant looks healthy rn and the sphagnum is relatively fresh and not retaining too much moisture for too long, then I'd wait until the orchid is actively growing (new shoots=new roots) to repot it. Unfortunately, oncidium orchids have thin and delicate roots so damaging some roots is inevitable during repotting but if you repot it at the right time, the orchid will have a chance to bounce back and produce new roots.
@@Sandraa0721 mine is a tropical wet and dry season.
In my locality dendrobium phalaenopsis grows nicely will nobili also do the same?
Do I have to use spagnum mossto successfully grow the oncidium?
Do you have a video on the proper way to water oncidiums?
Where do you buy your 0rchids? They are so beautiful.
Do you pot oncidium in bark only?
Hii how do you care that Howeara Lava Burst?
Zygo update please 😁
I was wondering 😂
Strangely, thrips will completely ignore my many oncidiums, but they'll try to eat the cattleyas...
How do I get rid of fungus gnats infestation from my orchids??!!
Fungus gnats love fungus! They feed on decomposing plant material. So if you have orchids planted in bark that has started to get soft and mushy, that will attract gnats. They also like to live in regular potting soil used for non-orchid houseplants.
They are usually only a problem when plants are overwatered to the point that the soil stays so wet that it begins to grow molds and fungus deep inside the pot. The excess moisture and lack of air circulation due to waterlogged conditions create the perfect home for gnats. Wet bags of unused potting soil sitting around also tend to harbor them.
Allowing the soil to dry out will discourage gnats. Diatomaceous earth sprinkled on the surface of pots does help discourage them as well. Maybe a layer of bark or gravel or something that stays drier on top of a pot will also discourage the gnats from setting up shop in non-orchid houseplants.
Try getting some carnivorous plants like Nepenthes and Sarracenas (both are pitcher plants) as well as pinguiculas (butterworts). They are easy to keep in sphagnum moss and have sticky parts that attract the fungus gnats. Pinguiculas also create "pups" to the side that can be picked and put into their own pots, and have lovely bright pink or lavender flowers to boot! I find these at the hardware store in their plant section. Don't get Venus fly traps as they are too slow to close on those surprisingly quick gnats.
@@rustyrefill6449 Thank you for replying. I guess what really bothers me is I just repotted all my orchids at the end of summer so they shouldn’t have the fungus gnats again! I water by running water through the pots over the sink and let them drain. The bark should dry out quickly.
Anyone with baby sharry baby to gift I will take it. Celebrate my 5 yr cancer pass..
Thanks!
no, thank you! 🧡
