Repotting Dracula Orchids and Cool 'zone' setup improvements!

Today I take you along for the repotting of my recently purchased Monkey Orchids and show you how the cool area of my grow room is evolving!

Draculas are not your typical house Orchid, they need a bit more attention when it comes to their culture. They hate drying out, they hate heat and dry air.. so you can imagine the hassle. So I am trying to accomodate all their needs in a 'cooler' zone in my greenhouse using things that are not hard to get even by home growers!
First the zone is close to the floor, I want to take advantage of the coolest air in the room. I am also starting to use unglazed clay pots in the area to help keep the temperature down (through evaporative cooling). I need to use net pots to acomodate their spikes, but I am using only sphagnum moss and always keeping them wet. Moss stays cool too! And finally a humidifier, gotta give them that mist! Now let's see how this goes!

Great set-up. I love that you call it the cool corner. It's where the cool kids hang out!

[@avryund]

Everytime you do videos like these and explain air flow etc. I want to yell, Science!!!!! Haha Excellent video and the setup is ingenious. Your boyfriend is proving time and time again to be something of an engineer. Two thumbs up

[@lesliebray8114]

your shelf hangers were an awesome idea!!!! Your boyfriend is pretty smart ! Loved the video !!!!

[@kittykaser30]

Omg, the metal rack mount idea is amazing!!! DIY inspo

[@MissOrchidGirl]

I think the desk grid looks fancier and ikea indeed has it 😉

[@sybelausia317]

I just found a new bloom on my coconut orchid. Now im like oh goodness how do I get you to stop my whole house smells like almond joys 🤣🤣🤣

[@TY-ob7fz]

Hi Danny Wow great ideas with humidifier, fan and low proximity in the room. Will be waiting for updates and seeing greenery getting greener. Good luck 👍 !!!

[@juliazolotareva865]

It is a clever set up and should work well. 🤞🤞🤞for the flower spike!

[@miguelmartins7406]

I love your channel.Kiss from Portugal

[@bugsandbrushes]

Yay! So happy to see a new video up about orchids I don't plan to ever own. There's just nothing more relaxing. Thank you! :)

[@GL1FE]

hehe ! i was the first to have my orchies on a wall, i guess its a compliment that orchid room and other people are doing it now !!

[@sachekazzak9013]

Very innovative wall setup, genius!

[@baltschoolofdance]

I love the idea with the extra shelves!!

[@wandashaw3551]

Great idea in the way you set everything up. I am doing something similar with my Miltoniopsis that I just got, I have her in spagnum moss, sitting inside of a clay pot and I brought a mini fan for her, too. She has 3 spikes and about 25 buds!!! Good luck to us both! :)

[@ianaryan233]

i guess Im quite off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released movies online ?

[@remycanaan3168]

[@ianaryan233]

@Remy Canaan thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!

[@remycanaan3168]

@Ian Aryan Happy to help :D

[@jooby6402]

Just recently found your channel and I’ve learned so much! And I’m sure my orchids would thank you if they could. I’m a Paphiopedilum lover myself so I always love learning more and seeing others’ collections. Keep up the good work.

[@MicksMasdevalliaorchids]

Definitely a flower spike Danny, love the new set up, looking forward to seeing the blooms. Thanks for sharing happy Growing and stay safe.

[@carolinesmith1366]

You've given us so many great ideas! I would love to keep a Zygo alive...they are so beautiful and their fragrance is intoxicating. A wonderful thought of a cooler environment 😊 Best wishes on your sweet little Monkeys.

[@arsolano90]

Cool setup, literally and figuratively! I like this idea. Great job 👍🙏🏻

[@alonzodiazrosario1867]

You can add a litle bit of cold water in the humidifier and you can lower the temperature.

[@rafaestlo2327]

I am surprised about the big efforts that you are doing by draculas....I hope all this environment will help them to bloom. Thank you for the video.

[@tz1743]

Hi Danny, I love your videos. You may post a 30 minutes video and i’ll still watch it till the end. Never skipping your videos 😍

[@debbiehouser142]

Oh my inovation, so neat I cant wait for updates. Hum I was myself wondering if a humidifyer would work. Yes 👏

[@jackiehill6557]

Hey Danni 😊😊😊 I have dogs and have been using the surplus food dishes with the holders for some of my phals, but have also been using the water buckets as well !! They make ideal holders to hang off the edge of the shelves. I have 3 Draculas which I have hanging off a spare grooming arm which I used to use for the dogs and they are easy to adjust as well. Look forward to seeing how your Draculas progress.

[@claudiosmith170]

Good luck!! I’m sure it will work. I have a hard climate for cool growers too, always hot here lol

[@motled]

Good luck with your Draculas! Multumesc 🍀❤️🌸

[@terryviljoen7475]

Wonderful video, I learn everytime I watch them, thank you. I just bought a masdevalia and I am quite nervous about it. I will repot it in a clay pot.

[@Marco37102]

Great! Good luck 🍀 😘😘

[@shirleyholt898]

Good video. I hope they do super well for you. 🤗

[@albena_abigail_karaivanova]

Hey, Danny, you are such an inspiring person! Go on girl!

[@TrishsOrchidLife]

Love this idea

[@marioroz3142]

I bought those grids from Daiso, they had hooks, baskets and even hot-glue hooks that you can stick to the wall and you dont need to drill or anything, so I bought them all for a cheap price.

[@ThePrisonWardeness]

OMG ALGEE 😭❤️ so precious

[@JoeyR1210]

Such a fantastic idea! I have left wire shelves as well and they are already paid for so why not use them right? You are brilliant, thanks for sharing as always and good luck with the cool growers!

[@paulsaunders3134]

I’m wondering if it would be easier and safer for the Dracula, when potting it, to wrap the moss around the roots and then wedge the orchid into the pot? This ensures that moss is around the roots.

[@LooseLipMoose]

Danny, you are brilliant... but your comment on your boyfriends suggestion of the wire racks you already have was too cute and just friendly!

[@bugsandbrushes]

Oh boy, just saw that we have the same zygopetalum. I just recently brought it home and love it so much already but as you might expect, I'm a bit worried about it ^^

[@josephrapp7211]

There i s a fan which shoots out cool,humid air on Amazon.What do you think of this idea, Dani? I have several orchids which are going to need a cool-down period.

[@kevinhensch9342]

Me having a very exhausting day *opens KZbin* The video we all been waiting for * day saved ^_^

[@MissOrchidGirl]

🧡 wish you a more relaxing day tomorrow!

[@coldddark]

Hi Dani, Any updates on these orchids?

[@miamieeuu]

Where can I get one orchid like that ?

[@orchidsbythelake]

Sounds great! I love the bird hook! However though.... Do you remember ‘M’ hook by Maria Young? I wonder if it’s easy and cheap to make ‘O’ hooks....

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, it is, I just prefer the prettier looking ones, I'm not good at crafting 😉 plus I have birds so I have spare ones too 😂

[@orchidsbythelake]

MissOrchidGirl assumed that. Nothing wrong with it! 😂 by the way, I asked you about fragrant paph in Sunday live stream... I went back to get the ID but it got cut off... 😣 Can you spell it out again for me? And while I am messaging this, my daughter keeps telling to make sure to tell you that she adores you....

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Awww give a kiss to your daughter from me 😘 I think the Paph is the delenatii ☺️

[@orchidsbythelake]

MissOrchidGirl thank you!

[@andreinabelloso]

Hey Danny, thanks for this beautiful video as always... My macodes petola it’s doing “great” (but the leaves are a little bit of folded and keeps growing up not bushy) I think it’s because the humidity that I have inside my home 50-60%. I google pictures and seen that most of the people have them in a little terrarium or mini green house so the humidity’s won’t go down. Do you think I should do that or change it from moss to a terrestrial media??

[@heatheredwards2982]

The grower I am receiving my Dracula Lotax from suggested to keep it by air conditioner it doesn't need much light either she said.

[@racieloliveros7663]

Hello, I wanted to ask you a question. Should I fertilize my orchids when they are in bloom? I recently bought two new Phalaenopsis and both of them have a bloomed spike, but I don't know whether fertilize them or not just like the others that I have not in bloom now. I'll be waiting for your advice. Looking forward, Raciel.

[@jacovdw1]

Hi Danny. What happened to your Decula orchids?

[@alejandrosuena4318]

Hey. Does anyone know anything about how to care for cryptochilus orchids? Just purchased one and i cannot find any information online

[@carpediem.9]

Totally charming and cute new profile pic Danny :D

[@tenchuu007]

"If you've ever experienced heat and humidity together it's not pleasant" *stares outside at 32°C and 80% humidity. Yeah...

[@LooseLipMoose]

Timothy Roller I went on vacation to Montreal las year and the temp was 45°C with 100% humidity. (I complained the whole time cause I felt sick and weak, my bf yelled at me and called me annoying basically... come to find out it was a terrible heatwave that killed 35 people!) not fun! But I do want to visit again 😅

[@tenchuu007]

Haha, come to Houston! It's that hot and that humid most of the year. Yesterday was relatively cool!

[@navidfarkhondehpay1142]

@@LooseLipMoose How the hell did this happen in Montreal?? I haven't been in the summer, but i didn't know any Canadian city outside BC could reach conditions like that!

[@SuperJojotaylor]

Hi Dani, Love your videos. How long do you let the humidifier run every day?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, now about 16 hours, but in the summer I might need 2 of them so I can run mist 24 hours, we'll see how things go ☺️

[@hawkkai2903]

Have you gotten these to bloom?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, nope they doed eventually

[@baltschoolofdance]

@@MissOrchidGirl 😢

[@alexbalistreya]

@@MissOrchidGirl what killed them, do you know? Temperature? Not enough humidity? Lighting? I wonder cause I would like my own to survive!

[@JustcallmeDebbieB]

​@@MissOrchidGirlwell crap, if you can't keep them alive, I have zero chance!!

[@itohisti8069]

What’s the update on your Draculas 🤔

[@PaulMittermiller]

Any updates on this? How did they do?!!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Not great not great, it’s too hot here for them 😫

[@PaulMittermiller]

@@MissOrchidGirl oh no! Sorry to hear that. Thank you for all the great videos and information!

[@tim.gr1225]

draculas can tolerate 25 degrees at day time but they need a cool down at the night

[@raidenuchiha6127]

Nice new avatar! 😉

[@alanayala5749]

[@bosgarden3646]

HOw is your Dracula doing now?

[@Hashdollars]

It died. RIP 🪦

Masdes are way easier than Draculas!!!!!!
