Super great orchid gifts from your dear friend. They will surely do well in your care

Thank you ❤️❤️

Beautiful kingianum dens! I am so excited that they do not require cool winter season. It is such an important feature for the indoor environment when the temperatures are more or less consistent all year round.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Definitely! They do need a drop at night though at minimum though. I find it's easy to do that because the lights heat the grow space up and they cool down when they turn off and I crack a window open :)

Nice big Kingianums! I grow a couple and a couple delicatums and a couple speciosums. I used to grow the kingianum in bark mix but moved them to a rock,charcoal,perlite mix about 18 months ago and they are doing much better. they don't seem to like wet feet or much fertilizer. The delicatums were seedlings and are in a bark perlite charcoal mix and have sent out new growths over the last few months that are much bigger than previous ones. I have 1 speciosum seedling and one division from an orchid club meeting. The seedlings new growth is double the size of previous and the division sent out a new growth about the same size as previous last summer but the new one growing now is much thicker already than previous. I grow them all in normal household temperatures in spring and fall under LED lights and water weekly in the summer. Summer they get outdoor bright shade. I really cut back in the winter. Found too much water gives keikies instead of flowers lol. I'm in northern Alberta so we have short summers and long cold winters. Best of luck !

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like you cracked the code to growing them effectively. I can't wait to bloom them :)

[@OrchidandKitties]

Nice new addition to your collection.they'r Big and Healthy.

[@NicoleDeanna]

They really were! I was expecting smaller plants and I received some really substantial healthy orchids :)

[@roslynbarclay1000]

I live in Brisbane Queensland & have den. kingianums. They grow naturally in south east areas which don’t have much humidity & cold wet winters. Also I grow den. speciosums, which can grow naturally in cooler areas as well as temperate to tropical areas. They all have delicious fragrances!

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thank you for watching! I can't wait to bloom these! Gotta love how hardy they are!

[@sergiol114]

Be careful what you wish for Nicole 😂 I've had kingianums for 2 3 years now and they grow sooooooo fast and they take up so much space 😂 But once those canes mature and bloom in spring, it's worth the wait! They're tough as nails and so you'll do great with them, cheers!

[@NicoleDeanna]

HAHA! My whole collection of seedling cattelyas have grown up in the last few years and I completely understand this. I look forward to seeing them grow and bloom :)

[@sergiol114]

@@NicoleDeanna Looking forward to when the time comes!

[@Joe-nj3bb]

My kingianum's new cane took off in no time as soon as the temperatures started going back up during spring. I have it in the porch now and this week the temperatures will be in the 90s. Not sure when I'll repot my new Hibiki. I was told it could probably be in the container for another year but maybe I should get it into a new mix before the new roots get too long.

[@NicoleDeanna]

They are so vigorous! Can't wait to bloom them!

[@emmanuelV37]

Yay!!! So glad everything arrived healthy and you like them!! They are perfect in their new pots!!! Love it all!! 🤗

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thanks so much for them! I can't wait to bloom them and I was so happy to receive them. Can't wait till they bloom :)

[@emmanuelV37]

​@NicoleDeanna with your care they'll bloom in no time!!

[@mestimac]

Lovely orchids! I was just looking at kingianums on eBay last night. Maybe this is a sign to buy one 🤔

[@NicoleDeanna]

Do it :))

[@LizE2654]

I have a couple of Australian Dens that are new to me. Hope they do well in my environment! Looking forward to updates on yours.

[@NicoleDeanna]

I'm sure they will :) thanks for watching!

[@maraleelachovsky4702]

Where did you get your plant stand? My plants are getting big and need to spread them out. Thanks for your videos 😅

[@NicoleDeanna]

Which one? The shelves? I used 3 foot shelves from Amazon mostly :)

[@genizi]

Beautiful haul. Thanks for sharing. I do not have any but after seeing your video,I shall definitely purchase one. How long the blooms last? Thanks 🙏

[@NicoleDeanna]

My kingianum hybrids usually last around 2 weeks :)

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

removing that big keiki was better for the mother plant anyway because it isn't trying to support that keiki and deal with being divided.

[@NicoleDeanna]

Thank you! Good point! I also thought, dang, humidity fluctuates from 25% - 70% now depending on the day... I'll be pissed if these roots dry out 😂

[@lisaallen7219]

Beautiful dendrobium kingianum . Who did you get them from?

[@NicoleDeanna]

A friend sent me divisions of his

[@patriciadumas-simon3348]

Good morning, what causes Cattleya to get brown

[@NicoleDeanna]

Could be many things - fungal infection, spider mites, cold damage, really hard to know without context / seeing the orchid.

[@kathleenkernisan]

Hi Nicole, I am in south florida. Does your friend sell the kingianums? If so, would you share his contact? Thank you

[@NicoleDeanna]

Hmm, i'll ask him. I don't think so since these are from his personal collection, but can ask.

[@kathleenkernisan]

@@NicoleDeanna thank you
