Orchid Stories #5 - Long time, no see Orchids

Today we take a look at some orchids you might not know, or you didn't see in a long long time! Get a beverage, some snacks and sit tight, this is (as always) a long one ;)

5. Sedirea japonica is a let down. It looks like something bothers her, but what?

7. My Vanda seedlings are also doing better in sphagnum moss!

Always nice to look at a plant sent from loved ones. I remember my mum once bought me a phal like two decades ago, a pink-stripe one, when I was still in my teen. Unfortunately I lost it due to my lack of knowledge of caring for orchids. Now I bought my own orchids, and when I have them in flowers, I bring them to my mum to amuse her (and let her smell the fragrance if available); but I can't imagine what my mum will react to the flowers from the plant she gave me years ago. Always good to have someone supportive for your interest :)

Hi Dani, My vanilla is from a cutting. It had been cut on both the top and bottom. It is growing! New growth comes from the leaf joint.

Hi Danny! I also accidentally broke of my vanilla's growth tip, but I saw it as an oppurtunity. I cut it up into several pieces about 5 inches or so and rooted them in coco peat and in all the cuttings, all of them produce growth tips in every node, literally every single node.

[LinardBraslin]

While my Brassia was in the process of recovering she also did nothing with her new growths, but about half a year passed, she started growing a decent root system and look and behold - she finished maturing all of her new growths and gave me flower spikes on each!
I think you should consider getting the triangular net thing for your Vanilla. It's compact, tall and sturdy. We use it for peas or beans sometimes!

[CyaneInkArt]

I didn't broke my vanilla growing tip, but it dried and went complitely dead, I had to cut it. Vanilla started to grow second node below, after 2 months. And it grows so fast! I got recently large vanilla planifolia variegated and I broke growing tip, and I'm waiting it to continue grow elswhere. Also, I stick broken pice back to the pot. I would say yes, because they can start from cuttings, so broken growing tip shouldn't be much different.

thank you for the updates!! my Vanda seedlings in sphagnum ross were doing great too, but they didn't get enough ventilation and there's a bit of stem rot :( so i use microfibre to moisten the seedlings ..i'm still worried about the future of this gal ! you almost feel like there's no winning! haha xoxoL.

Hi Danny. My Sharry Baby Onc. Been there done that. Transferred from coco bark to semi hydro and set back almost six months. Think I found red spider mites and treated it also and divided it. Finally I decided to cut off the dead roots when a few roots began to grow, but seemed to struggle to get thru the old root ball. New growth was beginning but very shriveled because of lack of roots. But then summer came ( I bought this the October before ) and more roots grew. It’s doing much better now forming two or three new bulbs 💡, and with new roots and leaves are growing straight and vigorously finally. When it blooms (if !!!) and i smell chocolate and this will be a success story.

Great update! Liked the revisit the old orchids. Thanks for sharing. My Sediria does not do as well as I want and not bloomed at all. I mounted it on cork which has been better than before but not great yet. Any advise?

[AnnieArmagedd]

Hii Danny ^_^ I love your videos!!! Thank you for making them <3.... I had an orchid have a leaf on top turn completely white and fall off. Any ideas? All of the leaves ended up falling off and I repotted and found that it was still in a peat pod thing that I believe it was sprouted in.

[MariannMay]

What I read is that sedirea needs a cold winter rest (5°C nights), otherwise she will grow and bloom for 3-4 years and then run out of energy and slowly wither away. Never experienced that myself since I only got it this spring, but that's what many sources say

[goshafrau]

It's an emergency :( Danny, I have an aerides odorata seedling and it looks worse and worse every day. When I got it like a month ago it had only one non-rotten root. I unpotted it and cut off all the dead roots and then I kept it bare-rooted (or bare-one-rooted) and was soaking it twice a day every day. I noticed that the one root was getting bone-dry anyway in-between the waterings so I put some coconut husk around it with sphagnum strings here and there - not too much. In the meantime tiny new root has begun to grow, but the one remaining original root is beginning to rot :(. The three leaves that my aerides has have begun to shrivel a lot. I don't know what to do. Is there any way I can save it?

[brokenkeys]

I have a dimorphorchis lowii seedling in sphagnum moss and before I tried bare rooted with watering everyday but the roots almost got descicated but now one root died by the more moister provided by sphagnum but I’m still sticking with it.
