I'm a relative newcomer to orchids. I never realized the enjoyment I would get from them. Was looking for an orchid book which would be informative to help me through the rough spots of orchid care. Then I stumbled across your site. Absolutely incredible the information you provide, and the manner in which you do so. You are a very talented individual, and most appreciated. Thank you, Herb

DEAR DANNY, THANK YOU THE INFORMATION, I MUST SAY I GET A LOT OF PLEASURE LOOKING AT YOUR VIDEOS ALL BEAUTIFUL, PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING THANK YOU BRIAN

+Brian Thomas Thanks Brian :D I post a video per day so there will be many other videos :)

I just got my first Miltonia, the 'Sunset' one, with plump pseudobulbs, few new growths, and it was only 1 euro! And I come back home and discover that Danny has made a video about Miltonias. I feel lucky today. Lol. Thanks for great tips!

+LLonas uuu congrats :D the Miltonia in this video is the Sunset :)

Girl, I decided to get another orchid and I thought a Miltonia was beautiful! However, some commercial grower stuck two in ONE pot. The little ones had all their roots rotted. I repotted them but I wish you had done a video for the Miltonias(I think I got a hybrid, no other name but Miltonia but the flowers are REALLY fragrant), I followed your video for Miltionipsis but I guess we shall see! Thank you for your videos Danny! I have "grown up" with you and learned so much, I would no longer call myself a beginner but I have much to learn!

Thank you for one more time for your precious help.

Every time I start wanting a new type of orchid, I always come to your channel to see what you have said about it. I've been dreaming of a Miltonia spectabilis lately and am starting to do some research about their care. Thanks for this video!

+Paige Erin I think the spectabilis is a good pick :D I got one too a few months back, no blooms just yet but I hope soon :)

Thanks for all the helpful information! Really appreciate your channel here.

Thanks for that I pick one of them up from work.

Great video as always. Thanks Danny

Thank you for your advise!!! I just got Miltonia and wasn't sure how to take care of it properly....;)

Miltonia sunset have a good place in my heart it attracted me to oncidium family. My first oncidiun is sharry baby and aloha iwanga but i made them rot both of them but miltonia dosent got any harm😍

Enjoy your videos. I had a Miltonia growing on a small tree. Guess it had the right growing conditions because it bloomed yearly. I have removed that tree and now have the orchid growing in an orchid basket. Can I continue to grow it in this way? It seems crowded in the basket? Can I separate the pseudobulbs to get them growing in a better pattern in the basket? They were growing around a tree trunk and still have that form (hope you understand what I'm saying).

Hi Danny, thanks for your superb orchid tutorials. They are superb. Can you recommend an orchid species for cooler temps, as in 20 degrees c all the time? Xxx

Hey thanks for the video. I just bought a very prerty white miltonia and it lost all the flowers in one week of coming home even though i was watering it correct and put by the window. The flowers just looked burnt even though it is winter. I don't know what to do :(

I'm new to Miltonia orchids and I'm not sure what to do. Once the flowers are gone. Do you cut the stem down close to where it comes out of the plant or do you cut it like a Phalaenopsis when you want to force a new flower spike?

Great video on care for Miltonia orchids. I purchased one with mold all on top of the soil and on the roots coming through the plastic at the bottom. I make it a habit of purchasing the sick orchids and other plants to bring them back to life. I however am not sure what to do to treat it. The mold/fungus is wispy cotton like... maybe snow mold but not sure. I read that Neem is lil risky with Miltonia orchids as they can be sensitive to it. I am thinking of using hydrogen peroxide 3%. Any thoughts? Also do I need to remove plant completely from the soil or can I pour/soak it with the hydrogen peroxide? Please help...

I have a Miltoniopsis that I'm afraid I'm going to lose. She's no longer in spike, which I know is completely norm, but she has also lost almost all of her leaves and I haven't noticed any new growth. I've read that a liquid sea kelp and algae feed can help encourage new growth. Will this help her? It's so important to me to keep her alive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dani. I received my first miltonia today through the postal service. It was accompanied by an oncidium by a mainland seller. They are both in rough shape, but the miltonia more so. I have both in an ICU setup, both has new growth and root nubs; however, I'm concerned about rot regarding the miltonia. I removed two small bulbs upon unpacking because they were entirely mushy. There is another that I am unsure of, therefore, I have left it alone. The top portion of the bulb is brown and dehydrated and the bottom is round and light green. Please, do you have any suggestions for me? This bulb has a new growth also, about a half inch tall.

When is the best time to repot miltonias? Mine just finished flowering and it is the start of winter here. It is producing two new growths so I was thinking now but I am unsure and I haven't had it for long so I don't want to set it back unnecessarily. Also, what type of media? I use organic medium for now.

Hi Danny! I've had this miltonia for a few weeks, everything was going great and today I noticed that the rhizome is orange-pinkish. Very intense colour that I didn't see before. What could it be? I am so sad because I lost this miltonia a few years ago to a virus of some sort and could't find it for ages. Am I going to lose this one too? 😔

Hello, I have a miltonia (or hybrid?) that i bought from homebase in the UK almost a year ago now. Its been plodding along for a while now, never looking unwell but also never looking at its best. The other day a leaf did go yellow after i changed it from sitting in front of the window sill, slightly protected to, on the window sill where i assumed it had got a little more light than it liked. I have moved it back again and it has gone back to usual happy but slightly sulky self. Its leaves have always been healthy but on the droopy side a little. Are they meant to splay out and be a bit limp or should they be standing proud? The colour seems fine they just seem to splay our a little too much... perhaps I didn't re-pot firmly enough (this was a while ago so it cannot be too upset about that though) ...I noticed in your video it likes to be watered more than a phaleonpsis (which i seem to be a pro at growing at the moment) so I'm wondering if maybe it would like a little more frequent watering than the others? It has no wrinkles on the leaves though. Any advice you have would be much appreciated. I am hoping one day it will bloom again!

Can I grow my miltonia in a self watering pot or will it be to wet for it

I don't find miltoniopsis to be that difficult in my house, but then again, zygopetalums do well for me. I have a NOID outside that was labeled as "NOID oncidium type" but I'm pretty sure it's actually a miltonia. I was treating it more like an onc. and letting it dry out but once I started keeping it constantly moist the roots just took off. I'm impatiently waiting to see it's flowers.

+ramonypony oh so lucky, Zygos just quit on life for me and Miltoniopsis hang on until summer when they start to give up too :)

Hello Danny! I have been tempted by a red Miltonia and purple Miltoniopsis in my local gardening center. Temperatures are around 15-20C most time of the year, with a lot of rain (humidity in the air 60-90% depends of rain intensity, all year round) as winter we can drop down to 0C and summer go 25C rarely maybe a week or 2 about 30C. Would that be suitable for 1 of those 2 ladys? I have full south exposure on 1 side of my house so i guess they can get plenty of brightness, otherwise is kinda north-west very bright shade but also kinda cold (no mountains or big buildings/trees to block light all around).

+Iva Viseux well with these temperatures ad humidity I would say the Miltoniopsis will do pretty well for you :) you can try the Miltonia as well, but it might be a bit too cold for it, depends on the hybrid and how hardy it is :)

Thank you, i will try with the more cold resistant one first! Here is raining like 250 days per year ( think of London weather like they show it on movies xD) so i think humidity wont be issue, unless its too humid for its liking xD

An easy and immediate way to tell the difference is that Miltoniopsis orchids have just one leaf per pseudobulb, Miltonias have two.

Originally all were Miltonia. Six species were moved to Miltoniopsis because they were different from Miltonia. Or maybe more difficult 😉

Put the name of that miltonia please
