I am so glad I went back to Art Stone and picked up the other large antelope dendrobium. Today I had to water it. I am keeping it in my screened in porch. Boy, is the pot heavy. I water it outside so I have to tote it in and out of the porch. I think that is going to get old soon. Maybe I'll keep her in a wagon.
@@prestonnorris9822 Hi Preston. I do have a wooden slat plant holder with wheels. The problem is the wheels go in every direction. When I push it to the right it wants to do a circle to the right, and same thing to the left. (It's like a circus cart). Lol. What I really need to do is find a spot outside where it will not get that afternoon sun, plus not get sprayed with the reclaimed water. (Too salty). Thank you Preston.
Thanks for the information though we can’t get those plants here I don’t know how hard they are to grow but nice to see all yours thanks for sharing hope you are well as I am well after my two jobs one each arm is sore arms but I had a see you soon have a great day
I think I mentioned that I purchased a antelope dendrobium Red Sedan from eBay, well it arrived yesterday and has a bump of a spike developing ...I'm all excited !
🦌🦌 love the Antelope Dens. Had many yrs ago, one I had was very small size for the type but always seemed to be blooming. Don't have any Dens right now, always had bad luck with the Mini's. I like your new script for the channel.. looks sharp. Have a great day Todd... Dr. Appt today with nephrology.
A note of caution! Some antelope types can grow very big. I have a dendrobium discolor on a tree in my yard with canes over 2 meters (6 feet) long. If you have the room for these beauties they will not disappoint you.
I have a long skinny cane on my Antelope but it's an eye sore as all the leaves are off of it for about 2 of the three feet. I want to cut it in half but don't know if it won't bloom if I do this. I'm new to these plants and have a few different ones. The Phil loone antelope that's kind of white with a purple lip and green horns is what I have. Can I trim this down? Will it bloom from older stalks or just the one newer one always ?
The antelope do rebloom on older canes unless it's an immature plant of course. I'd probably cut it if it's unattractive, other than that I only cut canes if they're totally spent and drying up. Thanks for watching and good luck with your Dendrobium.
I swear Den Samurai (antennatum x stratiotes) is constantly in bloom, antennatum blooms probably 1/2 the year. As far as the antelopes go, they seem to do well in a little less light. And they're smaller so easy to mount. Now with a little luck, maybe I will have canaliculatum blooms next spring, I got a nice big fat bulb out of one this year.
Very nice orchids. Love the little ones, too cute. I’ve had my bloopers too where I either accidentally cut off a spike or broken it. I feel your pain. 😢😔🌴
I love my antennatum!! One of the few that I have which are considered antelope. The little ones that I have do not bloom as insanely as my antennatum, but that doesn't matter... now that I have an antennatum doing it's thing, I am content.
I saw a cobalt blue antelope dendrobium at the local garden center a few years ago. Little dime sized flowers on a long spike. Fragrant too. I didn't get it because I thought it would be fussy. Whatever it was (any ideas?), I think about it almost daily. Oh well, I was recently gifted a samarai and I'm thrilled. Thanks for the tips and so sorry about your plant. I'd still be cussing!

I have to water mine every other day.
Blanca.... would a wooden plant stand on rolling wheels from Lowes, or a cart on wheels work for transporting in and out ?

Great visit with your orchids! Thanks Todd!
Thanks! Yeah, even though I ended up breaking one!!!
Hi Todd beautiful blooms can't get them in the UK love blooms on them 👍
You folks get stuff I can't get, our governments need to get on that for us orchid growers.
@@toddstropicals defo Todd they sould 👍

Nice blooper Todd. Been there done that. Love the Todds Tropicals banner in the bottom right.
Thanks! Felt like and upgrade 😁👍🤣🤣🤣
I think I mentioned that I purchased a antelope dendrobium Red Sedan from eBay, well it arrived yesterday and has a bump of a spike developing ...I'm all excited !
Yes you did!
They are beautiful and impressive 👌❤️ yeah, it will grow a new one !!
I think they'd do very well for you!
@@toddstropicals They probably would but too large 😁maybe...

Cool luck @ the Dr's! We'll chat later...
Wondering if, as the blooms start to drop, should I be cutting this back?
I wait till the bloom stalk is dry before I cut them off.
I love Dendrobiums, I will have to get me an antelope type maybe next Spring.oh man I am so sorry for the break.

Yes indeed I'm fully aware they can get large!
Informative
Thanks and thanks for watching too!

Good to know, all mine seem to do well so far. I want mine to get big!
Starting to think I am not giving my Dens enough light. Are you giving Dens stronger light than Cattleya types?
Yes and they'll bloom in Cattleya light also. It's just they can tolerate full sun if acclimated so basically more light more blooms.
@@toddstropicals I see… so why aren’t my dens blooming? 🧐 might as well just get them out here. 🤣🤣🤣
@@orchidsbythelake What kind of dendrobium? There's a whole bunch ya know.
Very nice orchids. Love the little ones, too cute. I’ve had my bloopers too where I either accidentally cut off a spike or broken it. I feel your pain. 😢😔🌴
We're not real growers if something doesn't go wrong sometimes... Right?
I love my antennatum!! One of the few that I have which are considered antelope. The little ones that I have do not bloom as insanely as my antennatum, but that doesn't matter... now that I have an antennatum doing it's thing, I am content.
Seems some crosses aren't as bloom heavy as species, and why I got some.
But not always, the new primary screams out blooms so I was told.
