Whatever happened to my Oncidium Orchids? here's what's left

I used to have quite a big Oncidium collection that I lost... again.. but this time due to a bad infestation of thrips and a very busy time in my life. But here are still a few I have, I guess the strongest ones :)

👀 you having to resort to keeping some of your Oncidiums in a closed cabinet to keep the pests at bay reminds me of part of why I 💚 phalaenopsis hybrids so much🤗...They're usually low maintenance & their leaves don't seem to hide pests as easily.They're probably 1 of the least fussy plants I've ever had here in the Midwestern 🇺🇸.I've always liked phals but your channel is what really ignited my passion for them years ago because I learned how to take good care of them & I 👀 just how beautiful they really are when they're actually well cared for.Hats off to you for keeping at it with Oncidiums though...If there's 1 word I'd use to describe you it'd have to be that you're PERSEVERANT because you keep on trying even when things don't work out so well until you find a way to do things better both with plants & also with your life in general based on the things you've mentioned about having to deal with in some of your videos👍🏻.Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge about orchids & a little slice of your life with the rest of us...Keeping orchids really is a wonderful positive lifelong hobby🙂🍃.

I love that for you, all orchids are equal. Whether they are "rare" varieties from specialized nurseries or just the bog-standard hybrids from grocery stores. Well done and thanks for concentrating on the hobby itself and not drifting into the gate-keepy corner of it.

I would love some videos on the Zygopetalums. My oncidiums are okay, the Aliceara Peggy Ruth Carpenter is one of the hardiest I have.

Hi Danny, I'm happy to see your surviving Oncidiums are doing well! I would very much like to see an update on your Zygos as I am thinking about trying a few this spring!! Thank you for the update and DEATH to the THRIPS!!!

Hi Danny, I very quickly saved my phalenopsis from trips thanks to the "bleach method". And also an oncidium with whiteflies. I change or disinfect the substrate (oven/microwave). The plant spends 10-15min completely immersed in a bleach solution (1/10) well brushed and cleaned between the leaves with a soft brush. Using D0mest0s is also very effective maybe even more because there is soap in it. Another 10-15min in clean water. Dry the plant well, leaves down, then repot. The important thing is also to disinfect the pot and the location of the orchid or move it while cleaning / disinfecting its usual location. The treatment requires a little time and effort but for me one treatment was enough. Good luck.

I love your channel, you explain everything so well and you inspired me to start a small orchid collection. Thank you very much for all the knowledge you share

[emmamcmasters]

Thanks so much, you are teaching me a lot about 0rchids!!!!

[cherylpenn]

I went to buy orchids today. They are all phals but I saw these and epidendrum and cattleya. Omg, what majestic Im exhausted, and broke.

[nadiaandrusca]

Thank you for sharing! Hope this winter to see more updates at most of your orchids: den phals, den nobile, catts etc.

[tamarascholler]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your oncidiums. You really had such beautiful plants. And yes please make an update video on the zygopetalums, i would love to see that. Will you make an review video of the year and all the things that changed?

[lemorrisgalbreath]

Your oncidium flowers are beautiful! I have 2 large pots of oncidiums with gorgeous, healthy foliage but no flower spikes or blooms yet. They get watered and fed regularly and love the grow lights. I've had one of them for 3 or 4 years and it has never bloomed. 🤷‍♀️ Orchids do teach patience!

[dawnfz]

Hi Danni, I love your videos. Well paced, very informative and plenty of personal experience. So glad I found your channel!

[michaelleedy]

Always a pleasure!! I was reporting my oncidium and there were soooo many dead roots. I was like: what the eff?! I need to see how Danny deals with hers. Needless to say, I used more sphagnum moss. Thanks lady!

[joellel]

My Twinkle is blooming, its such a good bloomer! My Sharry Baby has gotten big but hasn’t bloomed so far.👍🏻

[valentinarodoracio]

Love your channel! Thank you for all the valuable information, my 3 orchid that I transplanted are doing well.. flowers, buds, spikes! 😁 I live in Idaho and this winter trying not to let my home get to cold 65° and above . But it’s in the teens to 30°s outside.. love the Onisidiums

[CindyProoctor]

I’m pretty new to orchids, less than a year, I have oncidiums, the last one is my fav! It’s a sweet Hawaiian ginger. They seem vet prone to fungus, at least I think that’s what it is. Leaves turn dark starting at the edges. Not spots like the debdrobiums. I just figuring out the watering, fan, air exchange thing.

[NathalieMioParre]

been dealing with thrips for 3 years and counting and oh boi do i understand your struggle

[kathbarkus]

Yes please, on zygopeds, have fallen in love with them, atm Oncidium s are my favourite💓 really appreciate your videos, the content is so thoughtful and clear for beginners like myself🤩

Did you tried the sulfur hot box for pests? I think you should look in to it because is working for all sorts if pests and Powdery meal dew.
