Dendrobium Nobile Care & Culture | Removing Keiki’s and Getting these Orchids to Bloom!

[@tuyetvo4353]

I put Dendrobium in the pot with moss and fine barks. Flowers so beautiful - Fragrant

[@tuyetvo4353]

Dendrobium is doing well in patio from summer thru winter. I repot time to time … they grow so well - so fast. Easy care. I cut keiki put in the pot hanging on the orange tree - doing well.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Excellent! Happy growing!

[@cassandrawilliams4337]

Orchid Girl said that it's best to put the keikis straight into regular husk and bark rather than moss. I have some to remove soon. They have grown from a broken stem that i kept in water.

[@shirleyspocsol8431]

Thank you for sharing in how to replant kikis. You explain well!

[@andredumas9547]

Hi Nicole, I found your KZbin today and like it very much, I am a beginner at orchid growing. You sound very professional and explain things well. Thanks for sharing this interesting video.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching ☺️ Have a great weekend!

[@chrisreid6697]

Thank you for the very useful information. I feel I'm finally beginning to understand my plant...phew

[@GInsider1]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on how to care of that plant

[@NicoleDeanna]

My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching 😊

Thankyou.no nonsense, straight to the point, best video I’ve seen

Thank you so much ❤️

We're in the UK and our Dendrobium sits on top of a refrigerator near the back. It has stayed green through the winter because of the warmth it receives from the fridge motor. It hasn't flowered but has started to grow new offshoots. Enjoying learning about this fantastic family of plant. Thank you for your insightful videos!

[@NicoleDeanna]

I appreciate you watching. I hope it flowers next year for you!

[@heathercraig-gill3297]

I have a dendrobium. I live in the tropics, it now has no leaves but is growing kekes

[@mjrjw.1916]

Hi Nicole. Thanks for sharing. I have a Dendrobium Phalaenopsis that was begining to develope a new cane. It stopped, it's still there. I think it stopped because of the keiki that developed. I did not know how to remove them until I watched your video. Now it wants to spike out. It will produce a deep purple color. No fragrance just a nice show. Again thanks for the info Nicole. 😊

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thanks for watching :)

[@buatn]

Thank you for sharing. I really needed this video 👍

[@filipaalmeida1982]

Hi, do you have a follow up video on these keikis?

[@NicoleDeanna]

I gave the keikis away, but my mother has one, I can do a follow-up later in the summer with hers. Thanks for watching!

[@filipaalmeida1982]

Thanks, it would be great to see how they've developed.

[@besottedorchids3605]

My nobile formed flowers and keikis together. So i have blooming keikis

[@NicoleDeanna]

Excellent! That must be a nice looking orchid!

[@GoneFuzzy]

Hi Nicole. Would you be able to link the update video on this please if you managed to do it, as I can't find it on your channel. I have one keiki on my dendrobium and it's winter and I wonder if I should remove it now how you did it, but I want to see you progress.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Hi Vaide, I have it outside resting now, but can make an update when I bring it in and it's got buds! I likely did an update with this one 2 months after this video on my monthly bloom update to show the blooms, let me quickly find the video and get the title for you

[@NicoleDeanna]

It's the December 2020 Orchid Collection Update | The Snow has Arrived in NYC! Update & Walk If you search for it on KZbin it'll come up. It's got other orchids, but it showed how this orchid did in bloom!

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

You explained very well. Thank you. I am just now starting to open the window for cooler nights in my orchid room.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thanks so much for watching Michelle! A cool window for a few weeks definitely triggers the nobiles letting them know it's winter and time to start setting some buds. Have a fantastic weekend!

[@katebeedot9052]

Yes, they get into a “mixed up teenage kid” stress syndrome with wrong temperatures and produce keikis instead of new shoots

[@gracedecandia4952]

Hi Nicole, Thank you for the great information and appreciate the videos! Just curious if you were planning an update on the den. nobile keiki's? Did the water culture work?

[@NicoleDeanna]

I actually gave them all away, including the water culture one! I'll see if my mom still has hers and do an update! Thank you so much for watching ❤️

[@AttainableGreen]

Looking good! My nobile is just starting nubbins but that’s cuz it only just started to get cold here...so hopefully buds will come soon 😁

[@NicoleDeanna]

Awesome! So exciting - especially for these that need the temp change. Thanks for watching 😊

[@mariaursu95]

Hi! I have small babies on my orchid. They have long roots but small leaves,and they always dry up and die. Can you help me? What can i do for her to live?

[@weijianyang6736]

Hi Nicole thank you share I very like orchids, but I don't know where have to buy in New York city ?

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thanks for watching! Not many places I'm aware of in the city. The flower district has a few places with them, but they mostly have phals, and sometimes oncidiums. I've heard of a vendor selling orchids in the union square farmers market on the weekend. I generally order online since there's not much variety here. Sunset Valley orchids, Carmela orchids and Hausermann orchids are some of my favorite vendors. Happy growing!

[@andredumas9547]

Hi Nicole, very interesting about the dendrobium and its keikis and how you removed them from the mother plant. Do you have any idea when they will be old enough to flower ? Can you provoke a mother plant to produce them, was it because of the cold days spent on the fire escape ? Didn’t you say that you would grow them in water ? Thanks for sharing with us.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Hey Andre! They probably won't be old enough to flower for maybe 2 years. I gave some of the keikis away to my mom. She's growing them in moss right now. I have two keikis here and I have them in full water culture in a tall shot glass. I'll show them on my next monthly update. They are doing well. In terms of triggering the Orchid to produce keikis, they nobiles tend to produce keikis when the don't get a cool winter rest and you keep the temperatures warm throughout the year. They also get keikis when they are getting fertilizer during the rest period. Lastly they may produce keikis if they are stressed out. It's their way of reproducing in case they don't make it. Thanks for watching 🤗

[@vidnand2002]

Hello, Could you pls share an update video pls. I would suggest adding it to your description 😊🙏

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thanks for watching! I usually show it in my monthly updates when it blooms, but I may do a larger update as some folks have been asking for updates on others so perhaps I'll do an overall update on a new video in a few weeks.

[@ReptilesGeniales]

I can’t seem to find the update on these, can you give me the link?

[@NicoleDeanna]

I will make an update video on decidious dendroibums on Wednesday and provide an update then. If you'd like to see it in bloom check out this video: January 2021 Orchid Collection Update | So Many Blooms & Spikes - Orchid Growing in NYC around the 12 minute mark, and it was in bud in my December 2020 update as well. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions!

[@tomherbert6792]

My poor noble.im trying so hard .wheres the best postion to put her in .and how much water does she need . Help

[@Audrey2013K]

Hi, what will happen with mine? I cut those two old big sticks because they were so dry. It is a lot of another green sticks :D

[@NicoleDeanna]

If you're referring to the keikis, you have to pot them up in order for them to survive.

[@LiamEserda]

Thanks for shearing this information, very clear! But; when is the time to put them in a bark mix? Do the need a intermediate mix? Say: half bark mix half sphagnum? Thank you.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thanks for watching! Both work for this orchid. I think it depends on your availability to water. If you have it in bark, during the growth season I'd water more often, as it approaches dryness. If you have it in moss it'll retain more water and you won't have to water as much. As for the keikis, I like moss to keep them moist longer, but as the roots develop, in 6 months or so you can pot it into your mix of choice.

[@LiamEserda]

@@NicoleDeanna Ok, clear! Thank you very much and keep up the good work! Best regards.

[@reyreysgarden5724]

5 keiki’s plenty of friends hahaha ósea yo!! 😂😂😂 but in all seriousness great job amiga, she turned out to be quite the beauty!!! 💖😍😍

Thanks so much! Keiki swap this spring 😉 I love how she turned out!

[@DigitalMotionStudios]

Did you pass gas at 6min 30 seconds? 😂 sure sounded like it! Good video! Thanks for the info.

[@NicoleDeanna]

LOLL I would have edited any farts out hahahhaa :)

[@Theoldindie]

How would you water the keikis in moss? By dunking the whole container in water or light spraying of the moss? Or by watering in the tray from the bottom?

[@NicoleDeanna]

Adding a little water to the top, but you can bottom water as well.

[@Theoldindie]

@@NicoleDeanna Thank you :)

[@harjeetkaur-fr9os]

I have never seen keikis growing on the canes. How do u do it?

[@NicoleDeanna]

I don't do it intentionally, but you'll get lots of keikis if your fertilizer through the winter rest and instead of giving it cool temps during winter, if you keep it warm. Cheers!

[@aBeekeepersLife]

Looking good 😁 mine is not in bud yet

[@NicoleDeanna]

Rooting for some buds soon 🤠 Thanks for watching!

[@NOXO9]

My Keiki does not have any leaves it's roots are just starting to come and Cannes have barely and leaven it flowered some time ago What do I do?

[@NicoleDeanna]

Roots are the most important part. I've had leafless keikis sprout new strong growths. It just needs some time to grow. Keep it in a moist yet well draining mix and I'm sure it'll grow and get stronger.

[@NOXO9]

@@NicoleDeanna yes it has tiny roots there is a flower and a bud at the top I haven't removed or from the cane yet It had the keiki when my father bought it roots grew recently When he bought it there were many flowers they are starting to fall now as I said above 1 flower and 1 bud left

[@NicoleDeanna]

@@NOXO9 that's exciting. When it's left on the mother plant it also tends to grow faster. I'd remove it once the roots are longer

[@mahiraali2364]

Hi Nicole, im in Pakistan have a few. Its extremely hot i have mine indoors. But iv noticed the canes drying..quite a few from each orchid. What should i do? We are drawing closer to autumn/winter round about end September. Thank you

[@NicoleDeanna]

Old canes will dry out and die. Provided you are giving the orchid good moisture during the growing season it's ok. Just make sure to water in the growing season as the orchid dries and all should be ok. If you let it go too long without water though it can cause issues. I'd still water regularly till you see it stop growing then let it be for the rest.

[@NicoleDeanna]

and when i say let it be just don't fertilize and give it water here and there

[@mahiraali2364]

@@NicoleDeanna OK, iv been afraid to overwater, I can't tell when exactly to water. 🥴 Thank you

[@Meedup]

Hey! I recently (about 6 months ago, early summer) did the same you did with two keikis, that maybe were a tiny smaller, but had healthy roots and 3 leaves each. I have them in a tiny concrete container (it doesnt have holes but it's porous) planted in sphagnum and a few bits of of bark/charcoal. We've just entered autumn and now both of them have lost a leave. Normally i'd not worry about my mother plant dropping leaves and keeping only the chunky steams because it has a lot of other steams and leaves, but these babies are tiny and had only 3 leaves total, and now are with 2 each. Am I in danger of losing them? :v The roots seem fine, still with green bits but skinniner than before, and I dont see any rot, but they also have not developed further since split from the mother. The mother plant is outdoors in a trellis, the babies are indoors next to a window on the tiny pots.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Leaf loss is common for this one! I wouldn't give the keikis a dry rest, but continue giving them water, they should sprout new growths in the spring.

[@Firefox-hw3co]

What was the colour of the flower?

[@NicoleDeanna]

Pink and yellow. I did a bloom update the month after showing it in full bloom. Thanks so much for watching!

[@chowfun1976]

I have a nobile with 8 keikis (I cheated and used keiki paste). Do you water and/or fertilize the keiki roots by misting them while they’re still attached to the mother plant?

[@NicoleDeanna]

Nice! Lots of baby plants! I try to spray them every now and then but don't explicitly water them eat time. They pull energy from the mother plant.

[@Baladhiyaarvind]

Require fertilizer...?

[@claramoreno8456]

Great info, thanks

[@PhilippineLiving]

I live in the Philippines, so giving them a cooling period is not really going to happen. I plan on mounting the kikis and see what happens. 😀

[@NicoleDeanna]

It will be ok without the cooling period ❤️ I ended up experimenting this year without letting them get as cool and they bloomed, just be sure to withhold fertilizer :)

[@Cong-hoalan]

how do kieki grow buds

[@NicoleDeanna]

The keikis need to mature before they can flower.. They need a few years to get to blooming size, then they can bud.
