Another awesome orchid care video. Happy growing Nina

[@NinjaOrchids]

Sanjay, hi! 😍💐 thank you so much 🙌🏼 I appreciate your kind feedback and for the time you took to watch, thank you 🥰🌸

[@andreaallum8859]

Cannot grow that sort of plant it is too much hard work lovely little flower but too big for my collection but it does look beautiful with all the flowers hanging down the part I had a red one it was gorgeous little flowers but time has to come when you say no not for me thank you for sharing this very interesting video of today your dislikes and your likes not at work now until the 5th of January school has closed see you soon keep safe

[@NinjaOrchids]

Andrea, hi 😍💐 a lot of work, for me, in my climate! Others seem to have no trouble with it at all, sooo, yes... it is good to hear the varied experiences and climates to know if this is normal, or just in my case! I love the red one that I have, the cinnamon and the white were pretty as well, but wow... too much drama for something that isn't really that 'fancy' of an orchid. Yay!! You are on vacation! Rest time, holiday time, Christmas time! Wonderful!! Enjoy 🥳🥳thank you so much for watching, Andrea! Have a lovely evening 🌸

[@BBQNBLUES]

After acquiring several Oncidiums: Irish Mist 'Winter Green' .... Heaven Scent 'Redolence' ...Pacific Sunrise 'Hakalau' Sweet Sixteen 'Prepossessing' & ampliatum ... I am Under-impressed & may pass them along to a grower who has more patience. The _ONLY Oncidium type I will hold on to will be my 3 Psychopsis... They are really s-l-o-w growers but worth the challenge :)

[@NinjaOrchids]

Hey!! 😎💐 right?? I wanted other types of these large spike, big bloom count oncidiums.... used to eye the sotoanum before getting the Twinkles, but never bought one because of their size. Now, I am glad that I had the Twinkles first, because the desire for sotoanum is passe now. I will do my best to make my Red Fantasy grow better, but, I do not have any ambition to get more.... of any oncidiums, as a matter of fact 😁😉 thank you so much for watching 🙌🏼 hope your day was nothing short of fabulous 🌸

[@BBQNBLUES]

@@NinjaOrchids Do you have a Psychopsis ? no I don't mean a Psychosis :)

[@NinjaOrchids]

I have the latter 😂😂 but not the former, no! I never bought one because of the colder months of the year and I am not supplementing with heaters. I doubt they would be happy here. BUT, I know enough about them if you have any questions that I may be able to answer 👍🏼

[@CheeryOrchids]

I was planning to get three colors of twinkles and after watching this video I will try to grow one first and see if it will grow better in our environment.😅

[@NinjaOrchids]

Cheery!! HI, lovely lady 😍💐 it may do so much better in your climate, yes! More humidity for the leaves, for sure! Stronger Twinkle = no bugs! I am the daily intrepid bug hunter atm 🤯😅IF I can make this one happy long term, then, I may change my mind and get a white one to try again. But only IF I get this one right. You will love the Twinkle fragrance 😍thank you so much for watching, Cheery!! I really appreciate your support and time ❤️🌸

[@shirleyholt898]

So sorry about your twinkles. I only have one but no pest’s. They are cute but not my favorite either. What I don’t like about them is when they are done flowering the spent flowers shed all over the place. They are messy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🤗👏🌴🌸

[@NinjaOrchids]

Shirely, hi! 😍💐 their cuteness is misleading 😅😅 they look at you with those cute blooms, that incredible fragrance... and they totally mislead with what they put you through 😁 not that I am happy with my opinion, but, I just had to take the risk to be honest with what I have considered since I found them in my garden centre... not really that worth it. Eve IF I grew mine well, considering the pest magnet it is, I would not buy another one. Too risky! Thank you, Shirley, for watching and your comment... now I don't feel so bad 😃🙌🏼 hope you had a beautiful day 🌸

[@renatecormick7399]

I’ve recently put my 3 newly acquired twinkles out under the patio to enjoy our summer but now I’m worried about them and what you said regarding bugs, drafts etc. So far they look healthy and first chance I get they’ll be checked over for scale and mealy bugs. Thanks for putting this video out there, as they say “the good, the bad & the ugly” we need to see it all.

[@NinjaOrchids]

Renate, hi 😍💐 as long as your Twinkles are not in spike, don't worry about the drafts. Airflow is important for these little guys. When they start they spikes, that is when the care really begins, when they start to bud out, even more so. Please do not let me put you off your Twinkles. You may not have any pest issues at all, seeing as your indoor climate is much more controlled than mine in the winter. My doors are constantly open, my air is very dry... pests love the sugars these orchid develop when spikes start. As far as growing them out with their new growths, sounds to me you have them in the perfect location 👍🏼👍🏼 thank YOU so much for taking the time to watch, Renate! Enjoy your warm temperatures, lovely lady!! It must be divine right now. Have yourself a beautiful day ❤️🌸

[@Muffin21814]

Oh my goodness!!! So sorry to hear the issues you have. I love my twinkles and never have bug issues. They grow easy for me. 😁👍

[@NinjaOrchids]

Valarie 🥰💐hi there, lovely lady! Well, I am envious of your conditions and thriving Twinkles, Valarie! Nothing better than a happy Twinkle that does not create anxiety as a secondary effect 😬 thank you so much for watching! Methinks that, after the clean up, I will have it in even more water retentive media. The bugs are loving the humidity but for the orchid itself, it is not enough for it to do well to ward off the beasties. We shall see. In the meantime, I am going to pinch off the yellowing bulbs. Thank goodness they feel firm to the touch, still 👍🏼🌸

[@MrAlesoreus]

Ugh! I 100% agree with you, I was gifted a twinkle some years ago (prob because the plant is just a diva), has not bloomed for me. It started doing great when I got it, was progressing and then it dived...out of nowhere... Handled it the Miami way and one of the divisions has new growth, the other one is just sitting there in shock after being divided. I blame the heat, now I know better. Good to see you N, them twinkles huh?!...

[@NinjaOrchids]

Al!! HI!! 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️🤩💐 Twinkles... I was expecting to make enemies with my commentary in this video, but... it appears, that, I am not alone 😅 not sure if that is a good thing? 😂 when I clean this one up, and if it wants to stick around, then it will go into a more water retentive set up. But the spikes... the bugs, anxiety central! 💣💥🤯 I assume the 'Miami way' is that it now lives in a tree? It is probably too hot for it for most of the year, here, and then it is sooooo sugary, that the pests are PAAARRRDDDAAAYY during the winter 🤪 thank you so much for watching, Al! Always good to see you 🤗 hope you had a fabulous day 🌸

[@MrAlesoreus]

@@NinjaOrchids LMAO to your "Miami Way" "up on a tree", cracked my pot up! Funny you mention it because I have a palm tree loaded with orchids I have had enough of their attitude with, they get a talking to and then mounted on my palm with a whisper to their roots "this is your last chance, choice is yours" most have made it. But the twinkle was divided and placed under my terrace and Im now supplementing their photo period with red and blue light therapy. Always good to see you N, hope your day is fabulous as well.

[@NinjaOrchids]

😂🌴👍🏼 busy day today, Al! Apparently it is going to rain for the coming week, so, I had to take as much footage today or else... 🤪 I have a filming hangover 💆🏼‍♀️ just watch me mix up clips 😂

[@PetalsSepalsandSpines]

They do take forever, don't they?! The soatoanum we showed on our video took even longer, so I suspect he is the culprit parent for the slow poke twinkles...

[@NinjaOrchids]

Hi there 😃💐 I was gunning for a sotoanum before I got my Twinkles, but, their size made me change my mind. I think sotoanums are so beautiful. At least it is a species 😅 a fancy Twinkle... something that I would consider worth fighting for. Well, I have one to go and we shall see for how long. I am going to see if I can make it make me happier to keep it, in the future. So far, I will not be replacing any of the ones I lost. Thank you so much for watching, and for joining. I am getting around to videos as best as possible 🙌🏼😃

[@hillbillyorchids]

Yea I agree Twinkles are a huge pain! 100% I'm like you I am about over it! 😂😂

[@NinjaOrchids]

Hi there, Paula 😍💐 and here I thought I would be super unpopular for being so bold as to say exactly how I feel about them after 3 years. I wanted my cinnamon to make it, but, if not for the channel, I would have tossed it much much sooner than I did. I really wanted to get those little growths at the bulb / leaf joints to make it so I could propagate that way, but, no dice. The clean up of my Red Fantasy is going to prove interesting OR carnage OR both 😁 thank you so much for watching, Paula! I am getting to all the videos, as and when I can. My apologies for running late on that 🙏🏼🌸 hope you had a beautiful day ❤️🌸

[@hillbillyorchids]

@ᑎIᑎᒎᗩ_ᗝᖇᑕᕼIᗪᔕ🌸 Hey Nina no I like them and think everyone should have them but yet they are a super pain. Mine are so ugly to look at. They are fussy. I really think in my head why fuss with this one it's taking up valuable space for beautiful Cattleya that won't look ugly and bloom beautifully for me! 😂 but yea and as my luck has it editing apps have updated and messed up anyone editing from Samsung S21 ultra. So I had great difficulty putting mine together. My video is shoddy and that upsets me. 🥺 I'll apologize straight up for that with my video.

[@NinjaOrchids]

I had to refilm a video the other day, Paula... I had no idea what I was saying when I went to edit, and it was filmed during the days that I had massive headaches... so, I know the feeling about a video that isn't up to what we would like to put out. It happens! I just feel bad that I have not had time to enjoy all the videos in this CareCollab yet! I am a bit stressed about that. But, I promise I will get there. We are supposed to have a full week of rain, I had to get as much filmed today, otherwise the coming days I will have 'nothing to do' 🤯

[@TheOrchidSaGa]

I hope your Twinkle will be here for many more years, we can not miss you in this care collab! I struggled with mine for years, finally they seem to do better, way better. At one point I did give up on them. I potted them in self watering with syntic and small pumice, put them on a shelf, give them there water and that was basically it. And then too my surprise they started to grow again. I know that mine didn’t like the leca, well not as a top layer, they seem too make and grow new roots in to the media, small pumice easier… Thanks for all the info and making this wonderful care collab! I love it! :D happy growing!

[@NinjaOrchids]

HI there 🤩💐 I hope so too! It is not my intention to kill this one as well. I will give it a much more water retentive media when it comes time to clean it up, that is for sure. I am able to easily remove the yellowing bulbs without having to unpot the orchid, so, I am buying myself time! I WILL insist to see some blooms after all the anxiety this orchid has given me these past months 😅 I am sorry that I have not been to your channel to watch your video! I will get there! We are expecting a week of rain and I needed to take advantage of the sunshine today and get some footage filmed or else I have 'nothing to do' in the coming days 😬thank you for taking the time to watch my video, I really appreciate it and that you took the time to join in! 🤗🌸

[@YnseSchaap]

The last set I had went downhill at lightning speed after they all flowered. Still don't know why

[@NinjaOrchids]

Hi Ynse 🤗💐these little cretins are giving me anxiety!! For something that isn't that special of an orchid, it really is consuming my time! But, I will see those blooms!! After all this time and work 🤯 Even if I only have one spike left! I will see the blooms 😅 I am sorry that I have not been to your channel to watch your video! I will get there!

[@FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

🦒🌻🎅🌞🙋‍♀️!!!! So sorry to hear about pests in your twinkles. I haven't had any pests on them ever. Amazing how things can work so differently with same orchids and again it is hard to understand!!! Climat maybe? Nuh...I am inclined to think they came in with bugs from the store and once you've got them, it is so difficult to get rid of them especially with such small structures. Same with Tolumnias, so difficult to clear them up...Twinkles sure are slow, though. When you were preparing this CareCollab and I told you how mine were late and that maybe they would open up for Christmas I must say I was joking... I did not remember how slow they are and never thought they would come to December and not have opened yet. I would say it's because they have so much to work with but what would you say about my Laelia anceps hybrid which takes from September to March to grow a spike almost 1 meter long? Two flowers last year and I will be lucky I get as many this year... Much love to you amiga mia, have the best of days 💖🥰😍

[@NinjaOrchids]

FFF 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️😍🥰💐hello meine liebe Freundin! Definitely climate related! Pests are attracted to certain climates, and when it is low humidity outside, they come and find the set up that has a high humidity, crevices and high sugars on the go... buffet central! I think that this year the spikes are developing even slower because it was much cooler than in the past years. I will only be able to verify this to be true IF next year is back to the hot temps that we should have during spring summer and fall. I admire you for the anceps patience, the care it takes to not break the spike etc... several reasons why I never bought an anceps and the length of the spike, its time to grow and then bloom out, was one of them. So, mad respect for you and your dedication to that spike 👍🏼 👍🏼hope you had a beautiful day, amiga! Still no rain 🤣🤣 but, when in Spain, there is always tomorrow! Who cares... I can't leave the orchids outside if it were to rain anyways. Lights will need to go on after midnight, though, IF the days are overcast. Thank you so much for watching 🥰 and for joining in, once again... your support is so very much appreciated ❤️🌸

Hi Nina sorry about the bugs still looking good tho and all them spikes I can see it's going to be a show of blooms great care video 👍 the cinnamon one and the white one I do really think it's where you live Nina how hot it's gets and that mine are doing great in the setup that they are in hope you have it for many more years Nina great video as always 👍

[@NinjaOrchids]

HI Stephen 🤩💐 I have me a ticking time bomb in the grow space, but I'll be darned if I don't get to enjoy the blooms after waiting all this time! It may only end up with 2 spikes after all the treatment, but I shall have my blooms!! 😣🤯 this orchid gives me anxiety! 😅I am so sorry that I have not been to watch your video, Stephen! Supposedly we are going to have rain for a week and I had to take advantage of the daylight hours with some filming, or else, I won't be able to edit while it rains! I promise to get to your channel.

Not happening! 🤯 the stress levels are high atm, yes... no need to add to it! Thank you, Elen, for watching and for leaving me a comment and once again, welcome! 🤗🌸

[@JuliesOrchids]

Nina, try adding 1/2 tspn of Liquid Paraffin per 100mls ( can probs get at local pharmacy) and a few drips of dishwashing liquid. Shake it and keep shaking every now and again, to keep the foam on top. Spray liberally on a warm breezy day. This leaves a better film that the plants can still breath through.

[@NinjaOrchids]

Julie, hi 😍💐 I will check that out for when I clean this one up... I need to remember to do that 👍🏼 I am able to pull out the yellowed bulbs as a temporary measure, but... am sure to find colonies of YUCK in the middle of the plant, the ones I could not get to. We shall see 😁 thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to join in, Julie! I hope that you wake up to a great Wednesday 🙏🏼😍🌸

[@paige6042]

@@NinjaOrchids They came super dry and from what I can see most of the roots are dead. I gave them a welcome home soak in 60/40 and they all worked up, but I’m a bit worried that I may need to sacrifice the the spikes filled with buds. Not quite sure if I should not disturb the spikes and let them bloom before I repot or not. Decisions, decisions….

[@NinjaOrchids]

@Paige quick reply... check how many spikes/ pseudobulb and if there are 2 then cut one. I know this is hard, but you can enjoy some blooms but not tax the whole orchid. Check bulbs, with single spikes and if they aren't plump, then really monitor that bulb from here on in. If it keeps getting more wrinkled, cut the spike off and enjoy in a vase. I have a video coming out in a few hours 😅 maybe that will add to your decision making process. A follow up will air a couple of days later, depending on any additional questions the next video has in the comments. 🥰

[@paige6042]

@@NinjaOrchids Sound advice. I’ll watch the videos. Thank you 🤗

[@ResQuetzal]

Oh dear... I guess the lack of humidity, too much heat? To make you feel better, I've lost oncidium Tsiki Margaret and oncidium sotoanum. I've since rebought sotoanum. My Twinkle isn't difficult to grow, and I have not seen pests on mine. Scale is difficult to eradicate in my experience and I usually just toss the plant. The scale hides in crevices and I think it can stay dormant for some time too. You can grow 99.5% of the orchid genera so this isn't so much of a setback. At any rate, the spikes can take up to 5 months to mature and open. The flowers can be unscented, and when they fade, they make a mess on the floor! I keep my Twinkle because it is compact and my hubby likes the smell. Hope though you do wind up being happy with yours 😁🙏

[@NinjaOrchids]

Hi Res 😃💐 oh dear, right back at you 😓 sorry to hear that the Tsiki Margaret and sotoanum did not make it! Good that you got yourself a replacement of one of them already. The sotoanum is one that I would have liked to have had, before any Twinkles, but, it is too big for my space. I was so excited to see Twinkles in my garden centre... now, if I see them again, I will give the blooms a sniff, enjoy and keep walking 😓 I am glad that I at least had the pleasure of 3 scented Twinkles... imagine the added frustration if they aren't 😅 still have to work with mine and yes... once scale has found these guys, there is no way to get rid of them. Even, me washing the rescue piece on a regular basis... nada! Really appreciate you watching the video, Res! Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful rest of your day 👍🏼🌸

[@NicoleDeanna]

Oh man, I thought growing these was easy except for I find their thin little leaves burn easily. I noticed right away if I give it too much bright light and low airflow the leaves burn. I haven't had any pests on mine, for some reason the pests are reserved for my Dendrobiums which are magnets lol. I hope yours does better next year!

[@NinjaOrchids]

HI Nicole 😍💐 the pests are really annoying the *censored out of me! It really is a ticking time bomb in the grow space.I have to say though, that, after messing around with this orchid for so many months, I do want to see the blooms... she is stubborn, but so am I! I think I am going to have to put her into an even more water retentive media next time... when I clean her up. My lack of humidity is the problem with the browning of the leaf tips. This orchid gives me anxiety 😅😂thank you so much for watching, Nicole! I am so sorry that I have as yet to come and watch your video.

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

Huh, I never get pests on mine. But I truly cannot stand the smell. I bought it because people told me how wonderful they smell and I'm going to love it. Uh, no. I can't even describe how it smells to me, rotten vanilla and vinegar perhaps. I'd get rid of it but it is just on a mount and it hangs there and I don't really do much with it. I'm saddened that you lost the Cinnamon and that you are having so much trouble with the pink one now. I think I said a couple years ago with the white one that I had a lot of trouble with mine when it was potted, rotting roots and bulbs. I know plenty of people grow them that way, it just didn't work for me. I do hope that you're able to get it straightened out and maybe the pest problem is a function of the plant not being entirely happy so they are moving in for the kill. Whatever the case, it would be nice if it sticks around and looks better this time next year.

They smell like custard pudding, the pudding made from powder and you have to cook. It's disgusting 😁

Don Miguel 🥰💐 hola jefe! You don't get pests on your's 🤯😫😅 that means your's is happy! I am also annoyed about Cinnamon! If I can get this one to be a happier 'bunny' when I clean it up and put it into an even more water retentive set up, I MAY change my mind and get a Cinnamon again IF I see it. And... bingo! You said it! Mine isn't happy and the bugs are just like 'yeah.... sugar and humidity, tight spaces... there's a party going on right here!' 🥳😣😅 This orchid gives me anxiety ... my alvarenguensis is growing it's first spike, taking just as long and I am loving that orchid more than a Twinkle (said with a bored voice!) Even my harpophylla... taking it's sweet time, but, you do you boo!! I'm good with that. I love the Twinkle fragrance, but I don't love it THAT much that I will be devastated if it doesn't make it. Really appreciate you watching, Michael, thank you so much!
