Orchid houseplants suited for artificial light - Phalaenopsis, Oncidiums & more under lights!

Today we talk artificial light and the Orchid houseplants that I grow beautifully under any type of light!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
Orchids are generally not fussy when it comes to the quantity and quality of artificial light they receive. Hence about half of my Orchid collection is grow under artificial light, in lack of a sunnier room!
Phalaenopsis, Oncidium, Zygopetalum, Paphiopedilum, Jewel Orchids and others grow and bloom without problems under LED panels, LED tubes and even some grow lights. Here are some more videos for context:

Picking lights was so complicated for me, every time I tried to KISS it and just do as you said (if it looks lit it's good enough), I would stumble on some article on how the spectrum we see and the one needed by plants are different... I ended up following your choice with the Leroy lights for my paphs, Bulbophyllums and standard phals, and for the cattleyas and species phals I picked a domestic T5 fluorescent that had a good spectrum. So far, so good!

[@sinine1100]

I find that vandas *grow* perfectly fine under a fair amount of grow lights. Blooming is more mixed bag. The originally ascocendas seem to bloom just fine there - ampullaceum and miniatum/garayi have definitely made blooms with only artificial. The ampullaceum seems especially prolific, made four spikes in a row just recently. The big ones don't bloom there, but it may have to do with temperatures also. They usually grow leaves reliably, and bloom as soon as I move them to the curtain pole.

[@chemenginecat3940]

I’ve been using the cheapest basic LED kitchen (under-cabinet) lights for more than a year now, and all my phals are growing like crazy, much better than the previous setup with a lot less light. I will look at a brighter bulb for my Aliceara now, though. Great video, Danny! Thank you!

[@rubymahajan4235]

What kind of lights are they

[@fourandtwentyblackbirds3316]

It’s crazy that you uploaded this because tomorrow the electricians are coming to help me set up lights for my orchids.

[@Eryalb]

You are rocking it! I always love your ideas and get a lot of inspiration from you. Thank you for the videos you put out

[@ionescuionut5041]

Simple and efficient just like your grow lights/ non growing lights. Great video Dany!

[@helenetrstrup4817]

For as long as I can remember we would keep non-blooming orchids (aside from mine which were in my room at all times) in my parents bedroom, so they would get daylight when it was available and that was pretty much it, we didn't keep the light on all the time. In my room I would turn the light on when it got dark and usually it'd be brighter in my room for longer and it would only be dark in my room when I slept. I don't remember there being any particular differences in how often and how much they bloomed. When they bloomed we'd move them to the living room area, so that we could enjoy them and it would usually fit that another orchid had finished blooming, so they switched places. It worked quite well.

[@aBeekeepersLife]

Cattleyas can do very well under lights in my very humble opinion, but i do think they need more then 4000K standard lights. I got some of my high light cattleyas and brassavolas under my 12W Gemma LED growlights and they grow good bulbs and lots of roots. Most are not mature enough to bloom already but i think that will come in time too.

[@rubymahajan4235]

Do u think 12 watts grow lights will be enough for catteleya and brassavola

[@rubymahajan4235]

How many catteleya orchids I can place under 12 watt grow light.

[@rubymahajan4235]

I am so confused about grow lights

[@johanstrauss5475]

@MissOrchidGirl i have recently eleven vandas under 250watt led, they are blooming :)

[@janed3312]

Very helpful 👍

[@rubymahajan4235]

Which brand do u use and how many .

[@joshm340]

I used 4' fluorescent tubes in school and had a happy Brassavola nodosa. My phals have outgrown a windowsill so I'm going to try an LED panel in a closet. Great series, I have an "ICU" for neglected orchids that I get from friends ☺️ I get the enjoyment of nursing the plants back to health, and then I return them when they are in bloom.

[@kevinli7346]

Thanks for this Video Danni That's exactly what I keep thinking about recently since I'm gonna move to a new place with low natural light. I already have a strong LED terrarium/plant light but that one was super expensive so I'm looking for cheaper options I can get additionally to expand my new grow space :)

[@lesliebray8114]

Nice video ! Ilive in the states and have grown cattleyas with 5000K LED strip lights with very little natural sun light and they thrive. The number of lights depends on my light needs of the plant for me. So you can have catts and be successful !

[@Ian-pf2pw]

Where did you buy these LED strips?

[@janed3312]

Do you know how many watts they are? I have cattleyas and dendrobiums

Great video and info! I have two vanda Pachara which are in west window for about 5 hours in summer now;I also complement with LED grow panel lights...good results,as I water them a lot and they have produced three new full-sized leaves within four months. I will be adding two zygos as well . Thanks for good ideas!

[@shirleyholt898]

Thank you for sharing this video on lights. I have a mix of grow lights and LED lights .My orchids seem to be doing well with both. Your video was a great help.🤗

I think you should change your name to MissOrchidAngel. I was given an orchid and love it so much I bought it a friend. I did something wrong and lost many flowers and buds. I lost a complete flower stem. I am here to learn what I did wrong. I think it was too much sun and too much water but I'm not sure. Both plants seem to be on the mend but orchids are so very different to the roses I once grew. I was watering over the top of the crown, enough said. No damage I can see. I have bought new pots, orchind growing medium and orchid fertiliser. Where on earth do they get their nourishment from ? What function are arial roots ? I have a lot to learn. Thanks for being here.

[@santosesquivel4096]

Thank You. You Helped Alot.

Great tips!

[@Manny32991]

Great orchid video on artificial lights for your orchids your orchid collection looks amazing! 😊 I have a question will you do an update on your African Violet plants? I would like to see how the pollination project went after a few months of pollinating your violets. Happy Orchid Growing🌱

[@stephaniesands119]

This makes me feel better about wanting to switch out my purple lights. They're starting to hurt my eyes & sometimes I can't see the true details of the flowers with them.

[@AmazingOchidsandSucculents]

Very informative Dani 👍

[@Candicecmoi]

Hello! You are talking about vandas and high light Orchids under grow light. I have bought 2 spot x 50 w, cold white, and my 2 vandas in pot are growing so much better than outside (750m, in mountains in Switzerland). The leaves are growing faster, larger ans longer than with natural light and on one plant, you can see violet spot pigmentation appearing whithout sun burnt so I keep my finger cross and if a spike appears, I will tell you :-) it seems that it adores the place :-)

[@sybelausia317]

Where my plants sit, its in a window but its super shaded. Theres enough light that my plants are happy and thriving. But i do have a very dark corner and I bought a cheaper grow led from Amazon. So far the only difference I've noticed is my wandering jew has exploded in growth, but im thinking i need to leave it on longer.

[@kimberlybinman5754]

How much impact to having your orchids re-bloom does temperature or temperature changes (day to night even season to season) play a role? I really love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@barbarahazel4345]

I really appreciate your videos!!

[@makai5749]

I put one of my orchids in a 5 gallon tall aquarium and I was hoping the light it came with will make it bloom. It grew algae in my aquarium if I left it on too long. 🤞🏿

[@rosariomancuso8987]

Great 👌

[@greenapplemusicgarden8723]

[@aimeedunn8893]

Thank you for the video. Love ur video. After watchingbur videos.... i think my plant, Philplonopsis is in veg stag. I have a grow light full ssepturm. Was wondering. But now know that grow like is good for them! :)

[@familhagaudir8561]

1:01 I am melting for this orange + dark spots Phal. 11:10 I have very good results with mini and small cattleyas under a 50W LED panel set for 12 hours as a supplement for window growing, otherwise they wouldn't bloom much. And they bloom very often despite the dark, long winters at my latitude. Not sure it would be that good as ''artificial only'' culture.

[@pigeonpole]

My sister asked if she could grow an orchid in her windowless bathroom, without turning the lights on unless she's using it.. that wouldn't work, would it?

[@lindad1195]

I have a question. I have an orchid that I’ve had for a year and had never repotted. I read that I should repot it because most orchids come in less than ideal medium like sphagnum moss. I checked my orchids medium and sure enough it was in sphagnum moss. It also was really to big for the pot it was in. I then repotted it in bark medium and I had to remove most of its roots because they were gross. It does have aerial roots that were thick and fleshy and very healthy. I did spray the leaves and aerial roots with an orchid fertilizer. A few days after I repotted it I noticed that it’s aerial root were shriveling. Now it’s been about 2 weeks and I checked it’s root system and it’s growing new roots but the aerial roots are still shriveled. Why do you think they’re still shriveled? Thanks in advance for your input!

[@nu5045]

Could be root burn from fertilizer

[@nkkny1]

Great video. I'm interested in seeing if anyone has had success growing cattleyas and vandas under lights.

[@mayaprakash4406]

I have Cattleyas under light - doing well... I just make sure to keep the light closer to the plant

[@nkkny1]

What kind of lights do you both use? Thanks for the reply!

[@uskitin]

I noticed a lot of the leaves have yellowing Is that due to the exposure to the light or other reasons?

[@DanielWDrew]

I know you put the paper on your white wall. Did that help with the leaning?

[@Mexistamper]

Hi Dani, how many hours a day do the orchids need the lamp lights? I only have 4 Phalaenopsis orchids. Thank you for your videos.

[@fourandtwentyblackbirds3316]

Martha Staalenburg I think I read on the AOS website that they need 16 hours a day

[@Mexistamper]

@@fourandtwentyblackbirds3316 thank you very much. 😊

[@Matilda52]

Hi Danni, Great video - very timely for me and informative. I would like to know do you set a timer for your lighting ? I have a small collection of African violets and an even smaller group of phalaenopsis. I am wondering if there is a lighting setup which would accommodate them both and how many hours daily would they need the artificial light?

[@sumesh1998]

Hi👋 can you suggest bulbs we can use for artificial lights for oncidium. And how many hours they need light?

[@orchidquest]

Danny, this question's a little off topic--are there any bulbophyllums that don't stink to high heaven? They are so pretty, but I don't want those awful odors in my home. 🤣

[@hanafiirvan3408]

Great video as always. I just tried growing my orchid indoor using full spectrum grow bulb. How do you keep the humidity inside your grow room?

[@kennydietze1669]

Hi Danny, thanks for the great video! I was wondering if you have any advice on how to guide Phalaenopsis roots? I have one growing new roots that I want to guide into the new media but it looks like it's trying to grow up. Not sure how to guide it down!

[@nkkny1]

If you have a humidifier nearby, the roots tend to go towards it

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, other than mechanical means (tying it and moving it closer and closer) there is no way to 'train' it. I can assure you they will not grow towards the humidity, that is a false claim that's some growers are really keen on propagating in my opinion. If roots grew towards moisture, they would all grow in the medium, not out. However aerial roots all over the place are normal on Phals, so maybe there is no need to do anything ☺️

[@nkkny1]

My orchid light timer stopped working, I won’t be home for 30 hours, should I leave lights on or off ~ my room gets some light but not as much as the plants require.

[@johnnydash3000]

whatever happened to the white phalaenopsis flower shop orchid with the thing petal and twisted sepals?

[@timberleybelish8479]

Hi I love your channel. Can I use artificial light in a room with windows or would that result in too much light for the orchids. I just bought an artificial light set up and want to start out on the right foot. Thanks so much.

[@maneesia]

Hi Danny! Your videos are super helpful! Question though, how long do you leave your grow lights on per day?

[@anndi077]

I’m curious about how long to leave the lights on too. I’ve read mostly about a 12 hour on/off cycle.

[@xvanilladropzxful]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@aeislugh]

I only have the one mini-phal currently, and I've been kind of trying to figure out where to put it in my plant room, or if I can bring it out to my desk with a bit of extra light. My plant room has a nice east facing window that gets a nice amount of indirect light, but also has some artificial light for my more light needy plants and I'm worried that makes it TOO much light? is that a thing? Then again, it seems to be happy enough. its been putting out new growth, and it even has a new flower spike starting!

[@lisagoodman6309]

Oh I’m puzzled really I live in Oregon I bought 3 vanda seedlings 1dont know what to pot them in ??? There loose right now on repot me wood slats I’m worried here in winter will be window light be enough or should I supplement?

Hi! My grandma has a 5 year old orchid and she hasnt repotted it at all it has BIG and long arieal roots but the inside roots are dead....So my question is(i have 2) if they are all dead and i cut them off will it survive?Also it has black roots (areial and inside) should i cut them off even though they are hard?

[@reeeeeeeee293]

Hi! So I have some new orchid bark from home depot, and i decided to repot a phalaenopsis I have. the bark was very powdery with wood particles and the roots got covered in the powdery wood, . Is this bad for the orchid?

[@anndi077]

Did you soak the bark before potting the orchid in it? You should never place an orchid into dry media.

I love your videos; however, the closed captioning for this one was ABSOLUTELY WIERD--something about soccer "deathmatches," "birth incidents," crazy! I know that CC is not flawless, and I'm used to a reasonable amount of nonsense in translation, but you/your sponsor should look into this one. It seemed as though your CC was hi-jacked by someone.
