Hi Guys! It's time for my dendrobiums to be added to my palms. Part one is the day I attach and I will follow up with future videos. Hope you enjoy! XOXO! Blanca
Dendrobium Nobiles do better when they are attached upside down 🙃 it has always been recommended to attach them this way by growers. They are very top heavy so it will take longer for them to attach to the tree and it might even harm the canes if they are attached right side up because of the weight.
Good day! I always watch your channel. I really love orchids and I have some of it in my mini garden.. I'm one of your fan. From Philippines. Nenita Balistoy
Beautiful garden Blanca; our compliments. We are living on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, and have a rainy and dry season, sometimes with fierce sunlight. We have many phaleonopsis attached to trees and they are doing well; many are reblooming now. The dendrobium are another matter. One twice started small new canes, then both turned black and died. Another started a flower spike, then the new flowers (and buds) seemed to wilt and drop. Other dendrobium and catelyas just don't seem to grow well. We have been using that commercial orchid strata (mix of carbon, wood chips, etc.) as real Seramis is not available. We have been thinking of using that red garden stone as a medium, but don't think it has the same porous capability. It would be very helpful if you would explain WHERE in your garden you attach your plants? Facing what direction on the tree, full sun, partial, etc. Too much direct tropical sum may be too much; any suggestions? Thanks and best wishes, Jerry and Linda
I have three Dendrobiums I want to attach to my three coconut palms, but I'm worried about the sunlight. I live in south Florida. The Palms are not shaded on the north eastern side of my house. Do you think this is a bad idea? I've never attached orchids to trees before so thank you so much for all of your videos!
Hi! Dendrobiums are hardy and full sun should be ok. I would try to find the shadiest spot on the tree. Mine do fantastic attached and some are in full full sun. Good luck!
Too much moisture for Den nobile hybrids when they are growing? I never let them dry out during the summer (except the couple that are attached on the tree).
They started growing fine when I got them and then stopped. Media was always soaked since they were under my trees. I rather attach them now that it’s raining and won’t dry up too much then wait and then it’s too late. I have only 3 still potted in my collection and I’m already looking to see where to attach them 🙂
No ignorance at all!!! Dendrobium Nobiles are very top heavy and it is recommended they be attached upside down. They will eventually all face upwards 🙃🙂
