This is very helpful and informative. I just purchased a Miltonia and am eager for it to thrive. My yellow Miltoniopsis is struggling, and now I know why. Thanks so much.
Thank you for explaining and showing the differences. The articles that were returned in my Internet search were not very helpful, because they would just refer to warm-/hot-weather vs. cool-weather growers, not specifying which is which, and they also did show the physical differences in the blooms/bulbs. Excellent video.
When you see the flowers of both the difference is obvious, it's the flowerless plant that makes it confusing sometimes (first thing I noticed) Very clear explanation 😁
Thanks Roger. These explanations makes sense.... I enjoy these types of vids a lot to learn about orchids and care. The oncidium alliance is for me very interresting to learn about. 👍👍👍
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai I am! She was struggling initially so I put her in semi-hydro. She perked up and sent up many new shoots. That was several months ago. Hoping for blooms. 🙏
Very helpful video. My new group this year is the Oncidium group, so far had good luck with Oncidium 'Lemon Heart' so will be interesting to see which plant will be next on my list; thanks to you, maybe a Miltonia.
Miltonias are generally easy orchids as they are adaptable. They prefer good light and will drink/feed well when in active growth but should be kept drier when not in growth. There are many good vigorous hybrids and Miltonias are often included in many of the intergenerics too.
Just what I was looking for!! I bought one miltonia( says the tag) 4 days ago ,but listening your explanation it's a miltoniopsis let's see if I'll get a good environment for her🤞
I love these informative videos, Roger. Does that information about the fan blowing on them also go for other types of Oncidiums? Twinkles and things like spider orchids? Oncidiums like twinkles have a million bulbs so I had them in front of the fan for that reason. My brassias don't have many bulbs and the bulbs are bigger. Move the Oncidiums away from the fans?
Air movement is good but should only just move the air around these. The leaves should just slightly move - no more than that. Too much air flow will have a dramatic cooling effect and will lead to moisture loss in these thin leaved orchids.
Hi I have a plant with only one leaf from the bulb so its miltiniopsis? It was sold as miltonia. When I opened the plastic cover, an amazing perfume came out it still smells amazing! This is nature and not some artificial perfume...amazing...I hope they will survive.
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai hello thank you! Its actually the company Bush brothers and made a mistake, I searched and its cambria! I looked and they say its rather an easy plant😊🙏 I love plants but i have a difficulty with all the technical and botanic part. I want to learn but my head has hars time.😅 thank you and have a nice day!
What medium do you prefer to pot your miltoniopsis in ? I have a few coming towards the end of the month like you my growing conditions changed I can now try cooler growing plants.
Thanks for the talk, hopefully I can revive my Miltoniopsis with this info. Can you explain all these name change as I find this very confusing. I look up what the label says, only to discover it has been renamed. 😵💫😵💫
I recently bought Miltonia's from a Dutch breeder, that appear to be Miltoniopsis. I've sent them a mail. I wonder what they are going to answer (IF they answer). From a breeder one may expect he knows what he breeds.
