Pros & Cons of growing Dendrobium Nobile Orchids in a home

[@vickywehner1806]

I was gifted a Nobile “baby” from a friend, and this video really helped with the care of my new baby, Thanks.

[@lauranichols3237]

I just bought one of the Yamamoto hybrids at Lowe's Home Improvement store 2 months ago. I'm crazy in love with it! Even now that the blooms are dropping I like the fat/skinny bulbous canes-- they remind me of a plant in a Dr. Seuss book! 😍

[@cyrilabiog6756]

I must have a crazy Nobile hybrid. It’s been flowering for months. It even flowered through winter and developed buds. It’s still in bloom right now! Beautiful though so I can’t complain!💗😊

[@doloresprice9420]

Thanks just got one at Lidl and others; can’t stop when I see a new one find your KZbin channel very helpful

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

A quick tip, put them in your refrigerator for a month in the winter and they will happily bloom after that. They don't seem to mind not having any light but clearly it can't be a great thing for them.

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

@Sparky No, but they are dry and in winter rest. I guess you could do that if you had lots of them and needed to save room.

[@stevennguyen4993]

Not necessarily. ~55°F seems sufficient enough to get them to bloom. The more important part is making sure that they experience a dry period that gets them to shed some leaves. Fun orchids when you're the type who forgets to water once in a while.

[@natalia0sp]

This year I started my dendro collection, I already have 4 colors. I just saw a few buds on one of them and I hope they are flowers. I love them ;)

[@GL1FE]

thank you danny! helpful for people even who don't have nobile's ~ interesting how they have pro's and cons , i always thought they just have pro's!!! in that they were easy to care for... haha!

[@roxanas.4219]

Thanks for these helpful tips, I've identified my newly-repotted Den.Nobile as an Aurora thanks to you and also got the correct way of re-potting them :) hope it'll grow well in the new media,bark plus perlite, fingers crossed :)

[@adamfromgardenofeden]

Recently purchased my first Nobile and love the recent videos you have made on yours. Very helpful! Hope I do well with mine

[@katherinefeigel2685]

I was just given a Red Emperor Dendrobium! It's coming in the mail! I'm excited to see how it arrives and was wondering if you had a video on them?

[@galitovgervacio1688]

I didn’t know until now that it only blooms once a year but indeed the bloom is so beautiful. I have white and lots of growth that need to be replanted, so the cons will be space, during summer space is not a problem, I could bring them to my front and back porch but in the winter my garage would be too tiny for them to stay but I could accommodate and fight with my big boys cars a place. Thanks a lot for the many info of the said orchids that I never known before❣️👍

[@jomo9454]

I've been giving my mom orchids and taking care of my mom's orchids for 10+ years and I just saw this video - it's true - you usually buy two orchids!

[@jennydold994]

Very nice talk about Nobile! The Aurora is BEAUTIFUL. I myself bought a Dendrobium Loddigesii at an expo this weekend. Love them all, big or small!

[@1171]

Thanks Dani I learning since this is my first year to grow them was doing well with phaleos on my kitchen window they were blooming I gots new green house an thought I had them where no sun burn would occur well you know I didn’t shade the area they are in an ouch it hit hard leaves were damaged so I trimmed an when I finished I almost cried but they are trying to come back for me so I have some of everything an wow that’s a job since I just got new babies in almost twenty an dendrodiums vandas cattleya I love orchids and am learning how to work with babies too!

[@oishd6077]

A little coincidence . Today my frst nobile bud popped open😁

[@debbiesmith6344]

How beautiful your orchids are you are so good at growing your orchids .And what a great video 😊.

[@ThePurpleHaze881]

I've had a Nobile for about 5 years now, and about a year ago it started producing keikis like crazy. I have removed 4 or 5, repotted them, and it continues producing them. Even the repotted ones have new growths with tiny roots on them. The orchid isn't stressed, so I'm guessing it's maybe a mutation of some sort.

[@familhagaudir8561]

Two common reasons for excessive keiki production if your "nobile type" is a complex hybrid : 1-The roots in the pot are dying and the plant is trying to save itself with keikis. 2- There is too much fertilizer. It promotes keikis instead of flowers.

[@jesusjoseph1899]

There are some small orchids in "D.nobile family". Such as D.moniforme strains made in Japan! They have been line bred to be tiny,some only about 10cm tall!

[@krustysurfer]

Mine nobile worry me... Winter cool down the leaves yellowed and dropped, canes seem healthy, I watch and learn, thanks Dani

[@hildewilkens3772]

Interesting Danni , thank you - I don't have any Nobile ....yet - but I do have a Phalanopsis type Den. Hope you concider doing a video on those too

[@alexandnelly]

Thank you for your informative video , I love dendrobium too but cannot seem to have them flower. Also maybe the medium I have is not the right one , so if you have the right medium for them , greatly appreciate if you can talk about them.

[@YnseSchaap]

My largest is nearly one meter and loves to tip over it does this at least once a week even in a heavy ceramic pot ;-)

[@mayraalsbury4707]

Hola 👋 cual es el fertilizante que usas please 🙏 gracias?

[@AydenDevonny]

Hey Dani! Great video and amazing information as usual. Btw, they actually do have Nobile miniatures! I have two. Much much smaller than the regular plant. My nursery owner said it's a newer variety on the market. They're so cute! I love it and glad I found it but now I need to figure out what the heck to do with my big boy Nobile. It's a giant for sure.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Do you have an ID? I have a suspicion it's just a keiki, another viewer bought one, but checking the ID online it appears it's a regular size Yamamoto hybrid.

[@ericaolmos3446]

I love them..thank you for sharing

[@micheler3011]

Thanks for sharing, beautiful and so healthy looking plants. Love them all!

[@elainefigueira1]

Great video tks. Love them all.😍

[@emilydewsnap]

I love Dendrobiums! Especially the miniature nobile hybrids. I got one from an online nursery and it's lovely! It also doesn't require a winter rest (so claims the nursery). So if space is a problem, I would say go for the miniature dendrobium nobile hybrids (edit: see Danny's comments below)

[@MissOrchidGirl]

... I have a suspicion they sell keikis as miniatures, another viewer apparently bought a miniature but checking pictures on the internet it really is not. Do you have an ID for yours?

[@emilydewsnap]

MissOrchidGirl I do! It's called Dendrobium Sakura 'Hime' (Den Otome x Den Snowflake). Hmm that's a good point, Danny! The nursery advertises it as a miniature hybrid but now I wonder. Currently, its largest cane is about 10 inches (or 25 centimeters).

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Oooh at 25 it's not a mini :) I will make a video about them today! And ps here is a fully grown one goo.gl/images/QY7dMn

[@emilydewsnap]

MissOrchidGirl good to know! Sad to say, I've never seen a full size Den. nobile in person, so I don't have much comparison to go by 😆 They're not super common in shops here in the Northeast US for some reason (even though they would do well in the cooler climate here).That nursery fooled me. I had googled before I bought and found the same pic you found but to me it still looked smaller than pictures I'd seen of big nobiles. But I'm quite ok with it getting bigger over time 😎 look forward to watching your vdieo

[@nilsinojales]

i love orchids

[@lyndapuckett6493]

Would you recommend a grow light if you don't have a windo appropriate for light?

[@adamzaneagle]

my nobile only spiked at the top node, i can see other little nodes/bumps going down the shaft but they seemingly stopped growing, is that normal?

[@msokolova]

I have a "growth" fertilezer for orchids and a "bloom" one. Can I start fertilize my Nobile now or is it too late as it's the middle of winter. It is cool enough in the room where the Nobile is.

[@jenniffertaverasdelaurenci7396]

Hello my nobile until now dont show any sign of bloom. I live in tropical island and winter temperture is 23c more o less I try a winter rest but iam afraid that this was not enought for bloom. What you think a can do continue with the rest and see if a couple a weeks develope a keki o flower. Thanks

[@bradhienzachary]

Mine have not flowered for years! Looks very health and many green leaves! What’s happening?

[@jhjecko6446]

How cold hardy are Dendrobiums?

[@nataliyavolkodav320]

I really need video like this about oncidium orchids. Want to buy, but a little bit intimidated

[@matthewdavis6310]

is there ever going to be a pros and cons video for oncidiums?

[@fabcraftsandmore]

Are these orchids edible?

[@lyndapuckett6493]

Thanks for the video, this is what I got!! But it is a little different.

[@MariyaPrytula]

I have a mini nobile! (At least i consider it mini) D. Spring Bird "Kurashiki". Top cane is only 6 inches in height. Versus my normal nobile top growth is about 15 inches.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

I don't think it's a mini www.orchidweb.com/products/dendrobium-spring-bird-kurashiki~3557.html hmmmm I have a suspicion they sell keikis as minis :(

[@MariyaPrytula]

MissOrchidGirl possibly. But the plant has already bloomed a second time. New growth is topping off at 6 inches and the nursery owner had an older plant that was bushy yes, but not tall. It's possible to have quite a bit of variation between them as well. Website lists height between 5-20 inches which is quite a range.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Nobile keikis can bloom at young ages. In any case, I have a feeling it will grow quite a bit taller than that, on orchidweb it looks about 30 cm tall (12-15 inches), definitely not miniature. Keep us posted!

[@matthewdavis6310]

how about one for bigibbum type dendrobiums?

[@rosadonez4455]

Hermosa sigo todo lo que es orquídeas

[@Tanneroftanzia]

Hi Danny! I recently purchased a Den. unicum, and the nursery said I could put it in the fridge overnight in the winter to ensure it gets enough of a cooldown. Is this a practice you can recommend?

[@ahnnhi8433]

I have dendrobium labeled as "noble woman" is that the same?

[@Estelle16S]

Hey! My mom didn't water my den. Nobile for.. Couple of months. And then I took it under my care. It now has many keikis (I guess) on the canes and overall looks scary :D should I do something different with it or just water it and keep it happy?

[@Natalieleu]

I have a dendrobum of some description that I have had for 9 or so years and it has never bloomed. I see by this video its probably to warm and needs watering more often.

[@erinvolpe5171]

Dani, thank you for your helpful videos! I purchased a small mounted dendrobium (Dendrobium Tanii) last year from an orchid show. It is growing a new cane very slowly (no blooms though), so I know it's living, but I am having a difficult time finding care instructions for it. Have you ever heard of this type? Do you know how to best care for it?

[@elliottlobo1689]

I guess I lucked out with having a sun room, it gets cooler during the winter here so it goes dormant.

[@Notanknoparty]

Great video and great orchids. I have another con to add, however. In my opinion, old leafless canes make the overall display a bit ugly :/

[@dariofaudella3901]

Hi, can I repot my dendrobium to semi hydro while in bloom or should I wait? It looks to be in some sort of coco coir I guess

[@dennismedalla3691]

Dario Faudella better wait in my opinion as they are sensitive in flowerring

[@travelorchidslondon]

Hi Danny. There is quite small dendrobium "Pocket lover" which looks as nobile

[@Druexotics]

There is a mini den. It’s called den. Kirashiki spring bird max height for canes is like 8”

[@MissOrchidGirl]

As you can see it's not a mini www.orchidweb.com/products/dendrobium-spring-bird-kurashiki~3557.html

[@Druexotics]

MissOrchidGirl I can see it is A mini I have a very mature plant that blooms quite vigorously that’s max height is 8”-9”

[@jonaypoveda]

What is the minimum temperature a dendrobium nobile can deal with during winter rest? Thank you

[@Marvel170]

Hi I might be a little late for this question, but if you live in a temperate climate like I do (Michigan, USA). You can leave your dendrobiums outside but with protection down into the high 30 degrees F, or around 10 degrees C. Hope this helps

[@neenaliao5002]

When you say I’m going to put this information in the description below, where is that?

[@nicholat5319]

[@mariakarathanasi9799]

Good afternoon Danni, I also have some noblies , and am growing them semi hydro. how do you give them a winter rest, less water in that set up, because the reservoir should not be allowed to dry out., and you cant let it get to cool because its roots will suffer. How do you go about it. Thanks Have a great day.

[@familhagaudir8561]

The complex hybrids commonly avaliable do not need a dry rest. The temperature drop of 10°C at night is what triggers bud production. A 10°C at night and a 20°C during the day is enough and will not damage the roots. Those hybrids are very cold tolerant. However, lower the fertilizer dose after canes matured and temps drop, as overfertilizing promotes keikis rather than flowers.

[@neosalvi]

Here in America we went to martins for like gummy bears and we found a nobile and it is white with purple tips it was the only

[@jannertfol]

I was given one as a present at Christmas. It's still blooming, and the white flowers are very attractive. However, I'm a little taken aback, as the plant is so clumsy in some ways, and the plant itself is not attractive. It's VERY top-heavy, with only one stalk and two very small new stalks at the bottom of the plant, and is already a bit too big for the place I have it in my home. It will tip over at the slightest touch, but I don't have room for a larger pot where I could put stablilising rocks etc, in the bottom. So that's going to be a problem. I do have a glassed-in back porch where I can give it the cool rest it requires, as well as a fair amount of sun ...but what's the point? I want houseplants, not porch plants. Aaargh. I'm not sure, but I'll take the challenge and see if I can keep it going for another year. It's mostly the space issue, though. I also have four moth orchids, ALL gifts from friends and family. I've never had the heart to tell them I'm not crazy about orchids. They take up one entire window in my home. They are doing well, and bloom for me, but my enthusiasm is not high for these plants. Us plant lovers love plants, but sometimes it's not great to receive them as gifts. If the gift-giver doesn't understand the care or space required, they can become a problem. It's like giving a St Bernard puppy to somebody who already owns a miniature poodle. It's a DOG, right? You love dogs, right? Erm, well, yes, but....

[@o_o8203]

We need one for catasetums!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Good idea! 😄

[@ifletcher2018]

My noble canes are like pencils and putting out so many kekis?

[@carpediem.9]

Unfortunately I completely agree with all the cons for Dendrobiums, but for me personally the major con which made me only try to grow one plant and never wanting to try growing them again is - the general appearance of them (don't get me wrong I like the flowers they are pretty and love the fact that they are scented) but when they are not in bloom I honestly find them not appealing at all :/ 😳 😳 like all of it🙊shape, size and leaves ... Maybe t's due to the fact that I am a huge fan of small, compact orchids :)

[@terryklemesrud758]

Talking about the winter rest: a cool down and less watering ( or none at all?) but how about the light issue? Do they still need a lot of light? Thanks!!!

[@joeperez7167]

Terry Klemesrud for me mine went out side during the winter and got a lil rain every few weeks , they were in direct sun for a few hours ( temp never went above 60F in the day ) and now that it’s spring they’re inside where it’s warmer and producing new growth. They’re seedlings still so no blooms but I hope my care info helps

[@terryklemesrud758]

Thanks Joe!

Love the info. But all these commercials are just a bit much. I get you want to make some money like, one or two but one every 2 minutes or so in a 15 minute video is very disruptive. Especially when your just getting into it. Other than that. You have great info

[@chrissycee9773]

My question how do you give a winter rest when you live a tropics and have no cool time. My climate is very humid and hot and so to prevent dehydration i have to keep watering the plants all year as they will dry out and become wrinkly. The nobiles are outside but inside the house is hot as well.
