Creating a grow space for Mini Phalaenopsis Orchids in a dark room or office!

[@kas5990]

One of the things I like about you and your channel is that you're not fussy about the hybrid orchids. For some people complex hybrids are a no-no, because of... Yes, because of what? Of course they get poorer care and are common but still can make people happy :) Like me (compulsive orchid buyer/grower...)

[@MinutePlant]

Idk about them but for me personally I wouldn't want too many complex hybrids that are slightly different, I just figured out I adore the fragrance more than the colors so that's also probably why since most of them hybrids aren't fragrant.

I tend to shy away from grow light for phals as well because of their low light needs. Though I actually have mine in the kitchen near a window that allows for more humidity, good levels of natural light, and good air flow.

[@CyaneInkArt]

Most of my collection is mini phals! I love them, they fit well on my windowsil.

[@Maremare680]

For a reason I can’t explain, I prefer humongous orchids 😂. I love their long spikes and giant blooms.

Hi Danny. With sensitive furniture you can place clear plastic sheets over it. Can purchase 5 or 6 mil in thickness from local hardware stores. As I'm running out of windows and adding to collection 😬 soon will need to add lights too.

My *mini-Phal "Coffey"* is in its third blooming season right now. Beside its vibrant magenta-purple flowers, it also has yellow borders on each leaf. Delightful year round! Another variegated mini is "Sogo Vivien" with paler, striped flowers.

Hi, yes I do 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH6pe2qDpZydedk

I use those little plastic trays under my pots (I'm still in s/h), the extra water evaporates from the trays and adds a tiny bit of humidity 👍

[@temjenlemtor4254]

So detailed. And it's really good. It's a good tutorial. Learning a lot. The mini phal are attractive.

Hi there Danni. Just watched your video on mini Phalaenopsis orchids. We have the big ones at my work, they come from overseas as small plants, we then have to unwrap them and them a lady has to put them up and put them in one of glass houses until they grow up and and produce flower spikes, and then we sell them to the public and all the supermarkets and plants nurseries. But when I go and find myself one of the mini, they are gone. Keep up the good work you are doing, love your videos.

Happy New Year Danny

[@sueze3300]

I've been waiting for a video like this, Thank you

[@diannebozakis5570]

Thanks for the info - great ideas

[@vivienlee9078]

Great video! I love mini phals too. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck reblooming them after their flowers die 😥 Maybe I will try some of your tips here.

[@krzysztofkopaczewski4319]

Simply love ❤️ love 💕 love 💗 your beautiful videos and admire plants collection Thank you 🙏 for the advice. My apartment is a northern side... Very helpful video for me:-)

[@EnoHaha]

Hi , I just bought one yesterday , nice fragrance . But notice today no smell at all , may I know what is the problem ?

[@cicymrucorgis7558]

What are the names of the dark purple ones? Where can I get them?

[@ericyee3176]

Hi Danny! Great video as always, and it really got me thinking about my space! Unfortunately, my growing space isn't all that bright, and I was wondering what your thoughts were on using mirrors to reflect what little light I get from outside. I have a west-facing window, but light always gets blocked by the building on my right which comes out a little bit further, and the outlets in my apartment are a little bit inconvenient to get to. That said, there is always this one spot that gets very bright for about 1-2 hours that I can't put my plants in, but could fit a mirror on the wall and maybe bounce some of that light back, but I'm just afraid of burning the leaves of my orchids.

[@vildhallon4709]

Great video I've been thinking of making a small growing space in my closet im super excited to try this!

[@Duckyflu]

How awesome! I was just thinking while watch your yesterday upload about what bulbs you personally use. And behold! You happen to talk about it here. Haha, hope your doing well!! Happy growing! :)

[@camdemobile]

thanks, great video, great voice, lovely orchids! how many hours of light? is darkness hours required? what if when sunsets i use nearby lamp or tv in same room, will this disturb blooming or anything?

[@oomma5]

Where did you get the white pots for your minis

[@rotarumateialexandru5738]

So i don't need to use any type of special plant bulb? just a normal light bulb?

[@christopherkruse5177]

Hi Dani. Ty so much, you have helped me greatly. IWould love for you to do a segment on how to find low priced orchids. Love one of your biggest fans Christopher Kruse from CK orchids

[@max-hz9io]

Hey Danny my mini Phalaenopsis made a fat flower spike and has more than 10 leaves but has a little blooms I'll do anything you say so you make a video How to get your Phalaenopsis to have a lot of flowers p.s. Love ya orchids

[@o_o8203]

Do you have a name for the yellow one? I bought one that looks exactly the same from a garden store here in the US 😊

[@tanluwils1736]

Hi Danny, This is a very useful video! You address a lot of issues so many of us face living in apartments with less than ideal lighting. I believe I saw a phal with light green leaves in your lamp-lit grow space -- is that a species/hybrid? My understanding is that those kinds of phals require higher light. Could one grow, say, a phal amboinensis or fasciata under those lights?

[@christopherkruse5177]

Does anyone have an idea on how rare a variegated leaf mini phaleanopsis is with three spikes full of flowers. The tree spikes was neat, but I’m mostly wondering about the variegated leaves, because I also came by a variegated leaf denrobrium I thought was rare because I haven’t seen one before. Thanks , and good luck orchiders!!!!!!!

[@florianecolin8680]

Maybe my orchids don't bloom because they haven't enough light... Sounds weird to light up only for plants

[@Justusorjustone]

Happy chocolate day to u,🍫for u with some orange red flowers 🏵🌺🌹...
