Repotting creeping Bulbophyllum Orchids & tips on suitable setups

[@MissOrchidGirl]

PS: the edges of the first bulbo always get some dieback, whether LECA or organic. Since they seem to advance very slow, if at all, for the past year, I'm gonna leave them alone. Also since it's an isolated case, it's not wise to address changes in the general routine. Will see if the switch from LECA will fix the newer leaves in a couple of years or so ;)

Yaaaaay repoting again.. ❤❤❤

Hi Danny, i've just searched the informations for orchids for our orchids and thanks god i've found you. Just curious about some things : why don't you put your bulbos in semihydro method? Just wondering because i've seen you repot your orchids on a semihydro lately and in your opinion what's better growing orchids on organics or on inorganics media? Fyi I live in Asia and my country is pretty warm and dry, especially on the afternoon so i still try growing my orchids on several medias and watch carefully everyday to see what's media they'll suit into.

I repotted my bulbophyllum macranthum into a rectangular bonsai clay pot & it is PERFECT

[@kellykittinger5969]

Do you keep yours humid? I'm looking at getting one . What scent does yours have ? I'm looking at a curtisii but another video scared me and said if it doesn't have 60 or above humidity , it'll suffer but that's now how Dani is growing hers so that gives me hope lol

[@stephaniesands119]

@@kellykittinger5969 so.. mine perished because I think I didn't keep it humid enough. I'm down to two bulbos, unfortunately. But now I know for the future! I wish I could've seen the macranthum in bloom 💔

[@kellykittinger5969]

Stephanie I'm sorry. That's what I'm afraid of but I just ordered the curtisii because it supposed to smell like chlorine water lol some say no fragrance but it sounded cool. I have dry air here in southern California so now I'm not sure what I'm going to do lol I don't have a humidifier or greenhouse so maybe my terrarium. Maybe you can still see it flower ? If you have some left you never know it could come back

[@mariasandberg456]

I woke up thinking i have to repot my Elizabeth Ann Buckleberry, opened KZbin and this popped up! What a coincidence :D

[@heeheee2040]

I WAS JUST THINKING OF MY OWN BULBOPHYLLUMS WHEN YOU POSTED THIS

[@wandashaw3551]

Danni, I'm going to use a colander to repot one of my orchids in. I think she'll get lots of air to her roots due to all of the holes. Upcycling this old colander of mine is a pretty good idea even if I say so myself. 😄

[@maryr9315]

Wanda Shaw I use stainless steel utensil holder that have many holes :D colander seems to be a great idea!!! My Nana have heaps of them just sitting around in her cupboard. I will try your idea, thanks!

[@wandashaw3551]

That’s great. Hope you let us know if you like it. Happy growing. 😃

[@zoegreco3149]

What a great idea! I am definitely going to try it out!

[@theotherliz_13]

This is so helpful! I have some bulbophyllum cattlyea crosses that I'm having exactly this problem with. Shallow roots and a rambling nature. One has to be supported or it tips over 😬

[@natchezglenhouse5138]

Always loved their leaves

[@quoiquand2888]

They look so cute 😂 ❤️

[@Thanakornz888]

Thank you.

[@jamie32210]

Very informative video; thanks.

[@averagedud]

The video is awesome as always. Please could you make a video showcasing your orchids which are left on your terrace and where have you kept them.

[@BlaisZeroni]

Have you tried selfwatering pot method for bulbophylums? I want to know if it is a good idea before I buy my first one. Am chronically ill so self watering is one of the ways I can keep up with plants that like to stay moist

[@maryr9315]

Can you feature another care tips for orchid seedlings? Like cattleya, dendrobium, oncidium etc. I have bought 4 seedlings, I am still researching how to care more for the orchid seedlings. Thanks

[@tannerhitesman7434]

The most info I can find for seedlings are to keep them moist with a quick dry between waterings and plenty of bright light no direct sun. If you find some more info let me know please! I have 5 seedlings and could definitely use it

[@tara_27244]

Following …. I just got a cattleya seedling and a rather young bulbo (hence I was watching this video on repotting as the flimsy seedling pot it came in won’t suit it much longer.

[@BlaisZeroni]

I was wondering if the new growth (outside the pot) can utilize the water the older roots suck ip from the pot. So if I add a long peace of wood for it to “mount” on, will it still receive enough water from the pot?

[@marioroz3142]

Your setup is similar to what I decided to do, but I did it more layered, moss, then leca/moss core then I plant the orchid in a loosen moss layer then bark at the top. I have found several ideas with orchids like those online, some people use Bonsai pots, but that didn't work for me because they are too shallow, as I learned pots need depth to retain water, especially if you live in a hot climate.

[@PetraEmmy]

Thank goodness for you and your videos 🌱 I am trying to save my bulbo careyanuym

[@tannerhitesman7434]

Hi Danni, I was wondering if you could give a video about Miltassia Orchids, I have one and she’s a baby but not looking too healthy any pointers? Would love another knowledgeable video from you! Thank you

Hey, have you had experiences with B. Longissimum?

[@আনাহিতা১৬১]

Yk I didn't realise my super super tiny Bulbophyllum elizabeth Ann bucklebeery was listed as a "medium stage" (it's immature, idl of they use the same terms in different regions) ☹️, and I had my suspicions cause the leaves on my plant were practically a QUARTER the size of online pictures and ot has only three pseudobulbs, and that too with only two leaves, and now I'm concerned 😟😭 the plant is just sitting around, neither growing nor dying, and I can't find any info regarding it's growth pattern 😒 it hasent changed one but singe it arrived to me

[@maryperry5910]

What is the name of the smaller bulbo?

[@randommusings48]

Hi Danny, what are those little clear tubes at 14:28?

[@michaeltoolin8468]

Danny is using Lechuza pots which are self-watering. The "little clear tubes" are the water level indicator.

[@randommusings48]

@@michaeltoolin8468 Thank you!

Hi Dani. I was wondering if you could help me with a couple of things. I bought a Dyakia Hendersoniana (Miniature with hot pink flowers). I can’t seem to find much information on it so wasn’t sure what to do with it. This is a picture on Mtssa. Dark Stalr (Darth Vader). Not sure what is so hope you can help

[@janheinrich5654]

Sorry can’t figure out how to send the picture

[@Sblatus]

Hello I’ve been watching your videos and been looking on internet but haven’t found an answer, I have an orchid with dark green roots, is that ok?

[@michaeltoolin8468]

Do you know what type of orchid it is? There are nearly a thousand genera, however it may be that you have algae growing on the roots; without more specific information about the orchid, growing conditions, type of media it is in etc...that is just a guess.

[@Sblatus]

Michael Toolin ok, thanks. I think it is a regular Phalaenopsis, it’s on bark, I recently cut most of the roots due to rot, I left a few that are still hard to the touch (not rotten, I think) that are dark green, and the roots have various cuts (United by the core of the root), I hope this helps, thanks

[@marioroz3142]

@@Sblatus Is normal that old roots have cracks sometimes, the cracked part is called velamen and it is the "skin" that covers the actual root. Also is normal that roots green up when wet, but if they are very dark green or remain green after the media dries, maybe that they are just covered in algae.

[@michaeltoolin8468]

@@Sblatus As long as the roots are still functional they should be ok, phalaenopsis roots are capable of functioning even with the velamen being cracked; they will often branch and grow a new root from the older root as well. It is likely that they have or had algae on them. Sometimes even when you clean them the roots stay a darker green color; keep an eye on them though and if they turn brown, black or start to rot then you can consider removing them.

[@Sblatus]

Mario Roz ok thanks I’ll consider this
