Beautiful, amazing orchid 😍

[@Snowwhite33142]

Great video, Thank you! I had showed hubby your mini phal video, well for Christmas he got me 4 beautiful minis! One of them has 3 flower spikes on it, they are SOOO beautiful!

[@TrishsOrchidLife]

Love the gigantea…. It has been in my wishlist for years. Excited that my Tying Shin Fly Eagle finally has a flower spike which is about to give me the first bloom! Happy Holidays Dani

[@andywandner2595]

I can’t wait to see the bloom from the gigantic phal. Happy New Year

[@DeborahCaldwell77]

You are so informative and interesting for my new hobby. Fun!

[@jenniferjsaracino]

All the shelves look so nice!

[@pelicanformation3802]

I don''t believe you would be disappointed with any of your orchids.

[@JerBear1990]

Please do the mini series with orchids that bloom a lot!

[@ah7smpa853]

Thank you for the slow release fertilizer idea. Phals all looked healthy enough last 2 years. But few or no blooms. I put them all outside with only a few hours of sun and a bit of slow release fertilizer. I have a spectacular bloom season coming, some blooming already, 2 flower spikes on some. Even a keiki that formed after the crown was damaged mid summer has a spike. I live in zone 6a. Pennsylvania USA. One even began blooming in July. That spike has branched and a repeat bloom is coming. That one was outside late May and the nights can be cool into early June. An idea for other orchid people to try if you live in a temperate climate. Next year they are going outside late May. I want to see what happens. Happy New Year to all.

[@jaznjaimee]

Your orchid room looks great!!!

[@SJ-0044]

is there any care difference between laeliocattleya orchids and normal cattleya orchids

[@heathersgoinnuts]

Happy Holidays! I can't wait to start the New Year. My orchids are doing great thanks to you. I would have killed them all if I never watched your videos LOL I start a new job soon. I will have to make time for my orchids. I am also trying to organize my house before I start the job. This includes my grow space. I have one cabinet like yours with the barrina lights. Then I have some plant shelves with GE grow lights and I have to say the orchids under the Barrinas are doing much better. I am thinking of buying more barrinas. Now that I will have an extra income I don't have to worry so much.😊

[@gertrudewelsh781]

I love all your orchids. I only have one which is in its third year. I think I need another one. I am just waiting for a flower spike on mine.

[@sunnymelbourneplants]

Your orchids under the barina light look stunning 😍 always nice to see what well cared for orchids look like! So happy all my orchid seedling I got during winter are now growing new roots and leaves as we get into summer. And oh boy they love the sun and my paph insigne and phal Schilleriana are loving the eastern sun on my windowsill. Have a happy holiday season Dani 🎄

[@lindarodriguez5019]

Hope you had a good holiday weekend and will have a good new year I just got a vanda popcorn gold they are hard to care for in Oregon

[@BrandonFrias]

i hope my D. trantuanii blooms for me soon! the flowers are soooo cute 🥰

[@karenhaygood7080]

I would like to know what and how you planted your Banded in thanks

I have a fuzzy lips situation also she sometimes says woof, woof, don’t know what that means but she also has a problem with fuzzy lip.

[@rosawallace3792]

Happy New Year…. From California You have giving me so much information and my orchids are doing beautiful . Thank you love your videos

[@aleg3290]

Thank you for your video! Your orchids are awesome as usual! The new shelf light is beautiful, but I was wondering if you could show the flowers also under a more 'natural' light! ..that's because I would love to see how I would see them if I buy them! Obviously I imagine it is a lot more work to film them in two settings and maybe it's only me.. 🥰🥰 Merry Christmas and a Happy New year! You are the reason I started with orchids, so another thank you! ❤️

[@marium1866]

It looks like a new growth in front and a root in back on the labukensis at the end of the video. I am not an expert, but I have a growth at the base of my new pot. noriko volcano art (new bulb) that looks exactly like that front one on yours, so I am guessing the structure at the back is a new root. Please keep us posted! Good luck!! 💖

[@alexbirtwistle8830]

I love your videos, such helpful info and inspiring me to take better care of my orchids! Do you have any videos on vandas and how all your orchid leaves are so shiny? Gorgeous. I am experimenting with growing phals in water and leca but interested that even your vandas are potted.

[@mogo5555]

Happy Holidays and New Year. I currently have a spike on a Dracula lotax (hopefully it blooms.) My new Perr Bangkok Sunset is still blooming. The smell is amazing. That was one of the first I added to my wishlist when I started watching your channel and finally found one this fall. Thanks for all the great videos with great tips.

[@heathersgoinnuts]

I have a dracula lotax as well. How did you get it to get a flower spike?

[@mogo5555]

@@heathersgoinnuts I have it in a drafty north window. It’s now in a terrarium bc I couldn’t keep the humidity high enough. Still learning, but seems like the humidity has to stay over 60 percent to get a spike and keep it.

[@heathersgoinnuts]

@@mogo5555 My humidity is between 50 to 70 percent. I will have to try and keep it on the higher side. Thanks!

[@tendertemple6429]

Hi Dani, Happy New Year to you and yours! and all MOG followers. I had a question where do you purchase your decorative pots, can you do a short video on that and their sizes. I have alot of 3 and 4 inch pots with a few exceptions for vandas that are in 6" pots, and would love to see if I can find anything similar to what you have. Thanks.

[@dimitar205]

Was a bit disappointed that you skipped the jewel orchids. Otherwise great work this year, love the multitude of shelves.

[@azcojan]

Happy New Year wishes from Colorado! All my orchids are rescues from the local supermarket. All Phals and I do lose one from time to time but I do my best and get excited to see new roots and leaves as much as flower spikes. I have never had a keiki but my daughter has had many. Her orchids are rescues as well. What is the difference and how can I encourage keikis?

[@solarwinds-]

Hey Jan, Don't know about keikis but I know what you mean about super markets. These grocery stores have no idea what they are doing. They are the only source I have for orchids and I usually have to nurse them back to health. Yeah, it's true. Happy new year Jan!

[@azcojan]

@@solarwinds- when in my doctor’s waiting room a year or so ago, I noticed a very sad orchid sitting by the window. I took her over to the receptionist and asked if I could try to nurse her back to health. As I was in the process of repotting her, the main plant fell apart and there was a tiny little Keike starting to grow. My only experience with one and she now has a lot of healthy roots and five new leaves! I hope she will bloom next year. I promised to return her to the office if she bloomed but now I’m having second thoughts. Maybe just loaning her to them for a couple of weeks with my misting bottle. What would you do? I’ve grown very attached to this little girl. I think by the color of her leaves that she will have deep purple blooms.

[@rhodealexandre6583]

@@azcojan It might sounds awful what I am about to say but I would not return the orchid to the office. If they ask I would just say it fell apart and is no more. Why? 1 - They probably do not have the time to care properly for the orchid hence they gave it to you so you can nurse it. 2 - Technically their orchid died.

[@otisschroeder9790]

@@azcojan yeah, I agree. Keep it. Their orchid died. RIP

[@lisagruber3548]

Hi Jan, where else do you find orchid in Colorado?

[@deborahmelms9403]

Hi Dani, where do you get the decor pots? I didn’t know you could put the orchid pot inside the outer pot and grow so well.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, I buy them locally, even from Ikea! Deco pots have many benefits, I might do a video on it :D

[@deborahmelms9403]

I hope you do a tutorial on the decorative pots because I thought the pot needed holes for air flow and I don’t want to cause rot. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I have learned so much from you and my orchids thank you.

[@williammiller9104]

Do you still grow orchids in semi hydroponics?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, not for the past 3 years :D

[@bhumphries1360]

I've never seen a leaf curl in the center before. Is that why it's trying to make a keiki?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, not sure what you're talking about 😅

[@billymacaraeg7761]

what a great update MOG 😊😊, my orchids are actually doing good 👍 and temperatures are getting lower here as well, happy Christmas 🥰 I just have my Angraecum Sesquipedale bloom that I bought last year and what a great show and super excited for the warmer months and could you do a video about scales? that would helped me a lot thanks 😁

[@JerBear1990]

My tetraspis c1 is dying!!😭😭😭

[@rozlaizure6097]

What a wonderful display of orchids you have. I have trouble keeping up with my 16 orchids! Question: You mention in some of your vids about adding a layer of moss on top of the medium, to hold in moisture, but you don't say whether you spray the moss daily or the moss just lies there. I have been spraying mine. Keep up the good work.

[@MrJacksaun]

Is is banana peel tea good for your orchids as a food or fertilizer?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, no it's not!

[@MrJacksaun]

@@MissOrchidGirl Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, your the expert, what a good fertilized? I have all Philonopsis.

[@simplyorchidsetc.2]

Hi Danni Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your family. Stay safe and happy growing : ) Reah

[@newmanmansell760]

I'm fascinated by your phalaenopsis gigantea with a flower spike😌🤲💞How exciting! And, yeah, I know you have some plan to keeping it when it gets bigger👍All my phalaenopsis have flower spikes now🥰I got a lo' of help watching your videos about phalaenopsis care😌🙏💞I'm grateful. I have a phalaenopsis Sakuran with manyf flower stalks🙌Do you know it? Thanks again and I enjoy your videos🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@kadri7732]

..is growing a keiki not a flower spike.. so we're not gonna bother with her🤣 haha so relatable!🙈

[@aniliname]

Is it normal for flowers to change colors? I had it happen to one orchid, which I'm sure wasn't dyed, and am still perplexed by it.

[@TomCrosman]

I’ve a mini phal that when blooms open they have a yellow tinge that within 2 weeks the tinge turns white.

[@aniliname]

@@TomCrosman That's really interesting, thanks

[@joanp105]

When you say you bought an orchid at a local flower shop,does that mean an orchid nursery? Here in upstate NY, only Phals are available, and usually artificially colored blue. Awful🤦‍♀️. I am having much difficulty finding the outer cache pots that you use to hold the multi hole plastic orchid pots. Will you share some sources where these do not cost between $40 and $125

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, I don't have any nurseries in my country, I actually mean a normal flower shop 😁

[@andreifita4050]

Bună ziua! Acea phalaenopsis care seamănă cu tetraspis ar putea fi phal Jennifer Palermo ( tetraspis x violacea). De unde ați cumpărat-o pe orchid world? Și eu vreau sa o cumpăr.

[@mostlyorchids]

the mentawaiensis is now classified as a phal species, but it does look like a Germaine Vincent. edit: oh yeah, the fuzzy lip definitely makes it a Germaine Vincent

[@MissOrchidGirl]

I think you're right on that ID! second flower is not like the fist! 😁
