Great comparison Brad! yep, really think the trick is that winter cold period to get some blooms on them. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, mine had never been that cold but it worked!

I love D. nobile. I got mine as a gift keiki about 12 years ago, and it's been tough as nails and a faithful bloomer. Definitely one of the easiest and toughest orchids I've ever had.

Loved the tale of two Dendrobiums. ;) I have two and I'm going to do exactly what you do with the outside one.

That compare and contrast review was really helpful! Thank you!

hi, because of you putting yours outside I did also. I live in the UK and hosed the Dendrobium each time I watered the other plants, roughly every other day. We had a hot (32c) temps this year. The flowers had dropped off since buying it in May. Now though, in July there are signs of new blooms at the top of the leafed up cane and a back older bare cane. So, thank you :)

Thanks for the great tip. It's almost February and I have buds.

At last I’ve found a helpful D orchid video on you tube, comparing the 2 really helped me see what you mean, thank you

From what I’ve seen on KZread, the Dendrobium Kane’s , all hang down & the blooms are beautiful !

Thank you for your help. This is my first time growing Dendrobium It was bought for me in bloom but so far no regrowth. I will put it out next year .. but for a shorter time .. England is known for long hot summers. Thank you again. I found your vidio very interesting.

Hi Brad, I grow Dendrobium Nobile orchids in tropical North Queensland Australia. They flower profusely and have many stems. They love lots of light but not full sun even too much morning sun can hold off flowering, they love humidity and need to be watered just after drying out. They flower on the same stem so i pretty much leave them alone.

Hi, growing my DN on north coast Jamaica...had 11 flower spikes in past 12 months 😊❤🇯🇲

Brad, Looks like you have found the solution to getting them to bloom. I have great success with nobile types. I'm in Orlando, FL and feel that cold weather is most necessary to set the bloom. I only bring mine inside when the temperature is going to be below 50* F. High light level and root bound in small pots is also necessary. Good luck !

Got some more dendros today and figured id check out some of your older vids Brad. This was awesome. Loved all the info!! Keep up the good work as always!

Dear Brad, try droping their temperature by putting icepack for the night and removing in the morning. Works likea magic! Water right the way when you see new growth.

I will be sure to do an update video, when they bloom, They bloom for months for me as a bonus

Great video. Always so educational to see an experimental comparison like this. I am cramped for space but have been considering purchasing a nobile. Thus video has really helped me decide. Thanks loads.

I have had great success blooming them, but not luck keeping them alive. I keep them outside from early spring until threat of frost in the fall and within 6 weeks of coming inside I have flowers. Thanks for this vid, it really helps.

Great I love orchids 👍

This video is so helpful. I’m taking care of one of these for my mother in law and sadly I cut the stems thinking it would help the other stems re-bloom. Hopefully I can get some blooms in the spring of 2018.

The nobile type Dendrobiums are very easy to bloom. You are just hitting on what is needed. I grow all of mine in 100% full sunlight all year long, even down here in the south Florida sun. In the spring, if they need repotting, do so. Pot in sphagnum moss in a plastic pot, but do not use a pot that is too big, mix in a little Nutricote or Dynamite 13-13-13 time released fertilizer, do not use Osmocote. When the new growths are big enough and have new roots growing water daily, yes daily, the mix will be dry by the next day. Nobile types come from areas of monsoonal rains and love the extra water while growing, just make sure that they get plenty of air circulation and movement. You can fertilize with a balanced 20-20-20 liquid fertilizer diluted and used weekly during the growing season until August, no later than that. Keep watering after you stop fertilizing in August until the new growth matures. When the new growth matures, usually October to Dec., stop watering completely and do not water until plants start blooming, unless the cane starts to shrivel, then water very sparingly. Best of luck. If you want more information on growing Dendrobium nobile, or Dendrobium species, feel free to join the Dendrobium species group on Facebook. facebook.com/groups/161594227359847/

Great information! I had limited success with my D. Mobile until I gave them high light all year and dry in winter. I’ll give them cool temps. longer this year and maybe I’ll have even more success. Also, D. Lodiggesii seemed to like the same conditions. Thanks so much for all your info

Great video, Brad! Coincidently, the "Orchids" magazine published by the AOS has an article this month on temperature requirements for many genera including Dendrobiums broken down by sections. I find that I worry about the plants that need temperatures near freezing but the plants seem to do very well. It is surprising how many orchids can really endure temperatures down to freezing and even below. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Great video. What a drastic difference the location makes. I'm new to nobiles and so far it's going good. At the moment I don't have the ability to put mine outside but I'm getting good growth on my 1st nobile - when it bloomed the blooms didn't last as long as I'd like because of the shock of the environment changes but now it's growing 2 new canes so i'm happy.

2 new canes is off to a great start, best of luck with them.

I have found out by experience that they like more water than some. Very rainy seasons seem to be the key for mine to bloom. This year one of my dendrobiums has 2 spikes coming out of the same shoot. This has never happened for me before so I'm very excited to see them bloom here in another month.

I have a rather large one , about 4ft, it is outside in the sun and absolutely covered in blossom just before Xmas.I just water and give it a bit of thrive now and then, I'm waiting for the keikis to come so I can start more.

Thanks dude. Mine has not flowered since the flowers it had when I bought it died off. Got a few keikis on it, I've just removed 2 and repotted them. Next year, I'll put it outside.

Hello.I'm a new fan :) I wish you could come to Singapore.we are known for orchids.I just went to a huge farm this morning and brought 3.your videos are really great.it's nice of you to make these.I like that you mentioned dark green means it isn't getting enough Sun.one of my orchid I bright from a store on impulse has it.now they are all outside in the sun.I hope to understand more on keiki.I'm stressed out about the watering part.I was told that worry about giving more water rather than giving less.

Hi Marlina, thanks for the comment, Happy to meet a new fan! I wish i could come to Singapore to!...some day

My two dens are outside in bright shade year round here in California. They are a couple years old. Got fr Trader Joe's. This year I got 3 blossoms and a keki. Info here is very helpful. Didn't know they needed that much water. My canes are pretty good but they go every which way. I have to learn how to stake them early I guess.

Grow them in lava rock mixed with river rocks, should grow very well in greenhouse conditions.

Yes, I didn't get flowers this year on my dendrobium nobile. It was in a spare room with a lot of sunshine and temperatures went down to 50°F, but that wasn't enough and I watered it😅I have studied 4 nobiles that hang on a fence on a narrow road close to my workplace where in winter it gets down to 21.2°F, yep, that cold and the canes droop in places as frost sometimes can reach them. It even snows occasionally. The days are sunny and freezes at night. Then comes Spring and they recover and get some lighw Spring showers. By May they are blooming. So nobile can take a lot colder than we think, although this is a Winter in Japan where I live. Summers bring the monsoon and August brings harsh sunshine and high temperatures into the 90s. This week it hit 102.2°F

VERY INTERESTING VIDEO, HOPE YOU GET PRETTY BLOOMS SOON.

Brad, I love your channel. Thanks for all the detailed information you provide. I have a Dendrobium. It bloomed once only one spike and a few blossoms. I recently tried it in full water culture. I want to see if there is any benefit to that. Have you ever done full water culture? Do you have any wisdom to share with us on the whole subject of full water culture? Gosh, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

very interesting video, thanks for sharing. I have two dendrobiums that were given to me and am trying to learn how to care for them so that they will bloom.

I first watched this video some time last year. I had received a dendrobium nobile as a gift and it had loads of blooms, but how do get it to bloom again? After seeing your video, I took it to a south facing bedroom that is unobstructed by trees or bushes. I did fertilize and water it, and I now have three big flowers on one stalk and several more stalks developing with at least two buds on each. I did occasionally have a window slightly open recently (March); it’s placed near a radiator, but the temperature is turned down a bit at night. Somehow it all worked and I hope we can do a little better this coming year. Just wanted to say thank you for your experiment.

Hi Brad can you pls do a video on growing orchid outdoors once the temperature in BC is warmer? "Spring" in California starts in February and I would love to know how to give my cattleya, oncidium, and a couple other orchids maximum sunlight without burning them. Thanks!

My two dens only had two blooms on the tip of the canes, not on the sides. Have had them for a couple of years but the canes aren't nearly as big and plump. I guess I will do the winter rest. Never did that.plus will read more on their care. I keep my orchids outdoors in bright shade in California

@ToshAroundMac

6 жыл бұрын

If the canes are not as big and plump, it is either due to a lack of Sunlight, or lack of fertilisation. Type nobile Dendrobium require more fertilizer than other orchids such as the Phalaenopsis. For example if you use an all-purpose 20-20-20 fertizer every watering, at 1/4 (one fourth) of the recomended concentration for your Phalaenopsis, a Dendrobium will require 1/2 (half) the recomended concentration.

Also, could you do a video about how you create your own hanging baskets? thanks#

A few days go at the market I saw some of these orchids and told my dad I like them. This thursday after going back home my dad said there was a surprise for me. For some reason he thought I wanted one of those orchids so he bought one for me but since I have history of killing orchids I got angry because 1. I said that I only liked them not that I want one 2. I'm not really able to take care of an orchid 3. we don't have the factors for raising one

Brad: Many thanks! I tried your method with a D. Nobile (2 plants together) that had no flowers for 4 years. Something AMAZING! It’s flowering right now, out of season! The buds appeared in August, on last year’s canes. It was grown outside in full sun, not letting it dry out completely, & feeding once a week. It also grew new canes that are tall, plump, & beautifully yellow. Plus I have a D. Loggidessi that has produced a bud on an old cane & is flowering now (10/02). Have you heard of this happening? How do I treat the nobile? It has buds about to open, three more flower stalks barely started, & 2 new canes with no buds. The plant is currently outside in upstate New York, temps from 60 F. - 40 F., & drying out before getting water. Do I bring it inside & keep it cold & dry, or will I lose the winter/spring flowers on new canes if I bring it inside?

Hello brad, thankyou for a great video. I havea a very small plant and I thought it was dead but in fact it has grown lots of kikis (I don't know how to spell that as I hadn't heard of them before) and also it now has thin wiry root like shoots with a tiny bulbous end shooting out from different points up the 'stalk'. What are these and should I chop off the kikis? Boo

@BradsGreenhouse & Gardening Please when to start watering the Dendrobium again?

Hi Brad I have a question for you. I am thinking about changing the pot of the orchid. Should I use Orchid mix or moss or regular soil? Thank You Have A Nice Day

Hello Brad :) I was wondering. I had to leave my Dendrobium Nobile with my sister. The two main canes are still green, but they are incredibly shrivelled and dehydrated. Is there a way to replenish them to their former plump selves, or will they never be as lovely as they used to?

I'm going to try this, mine has not bloomed since I got it about a year.

Excellent video Brad very nice demonstration that light is important in blooming an Den Nubile. Did you fertilze the green brother too? BTW love the new look of your video intro ..... Ah and keiki means no flowers and plant trying to propagate! Doing its best Look forward to the flowers....

BRAD soft canes need to rest over winter watering once a week or two weeksis all they need , they flower early mid winter, water every two days in summer , every day if its hot, they like a lot of light all year round, im in Brisbane Australia and grow a few soft canes, to much water or fertaliza over the colder months will end with a lot of kikis or lost of plant due to rot, what you did was right though i would give them as much light over winter i could,

Hi brad .can you please tell me which potting mix shall i use if i need to plant my Dendrobium .

Very good video! Question... Do you fertilize the dendrobium during the winter as often as during spring and summer?

On my dendobrium nobile is it three small plants with roots growing on the mane stem. What should I do with them?

I'm struggling with the potting mix. I used the plain orchiata but the plant seems to grow very slow. Do I need to fix the plant so it could not move? Thanks

Nice video, I have some sort of dendrobium that was given me as a gift, and it has never bloomed in my hands (It arrived with gorgeous magenta flowers). I totally abused it - it had come in sphagnum moss in a container with no holes. I underwatered, I overwatered, gave it nasty root rot. So I got a well draining pot and some bark type orchid medium (And some orchid fertilizer) and I brought it back from the brink, but I am not doing the right things to help it bloom, so this was very helpful. I see you are in BC - I am in Wisconsin, further south, but quite a bit colder in winter. I think I would like to get my orchid out into the sun during the summer. How much cold can these tolerate? How much heat/direct sun? Do I need to move it out gradually to avoid sunscald? It can be humid here in summer, but the orchid would be hanging on the south side of the house. Is fluorescent light sufficient in winter? The house is very dry in winter, so I have been watering regularly, though in winter I moved it to my bedroom which has terrible light exposure but is cooler (68-72 F). Thanks for the tips!

I have that orchid and it gives me tons of orchids in the summer. I'm in zone 9 florida and so it its plenty of moisture. But this year I've had green bulbs come out after a flower drops off. Do you know what it is? And what do I do with it?

Ah Dendrobium ''Nobile type''. One of the few orchids that grow without any fuss indoors in a West-facing window. Don't bother giving a dry rest to the complex hybrids, it will just make them lose their leaves, just stop fertilizing to avoid getting keikis instead of flowers. Mine seem to bloom just fine with the temperature gap from being hit with direct Sun. Never that many at once, but blooms 3 times a year.

thanks for the video Brad. will give this a try, as i can remember they were beautiful purple blooms when i bought them now it is only leggy sticks and keikis

I put mine against a north facing window since I got them in august 2017 (the Netherlands, so quite a cold climate). They have bloomed twice already. I don't do anything special, just water hem and do nothing. I haven't given them anything else but water. I guess neglecting them a little is the best way to let them bloom.

Brad, I have a large Den with many, many bulbs and 2 kiki's. It is my first Den and I have no idea how to care for it ... it's "December". I've read conflicting information. Do continue to water and fertilize since it's in bud? Help, please!

Hi Brad. I have a small but hugely bushy Den nobile that I got on the ACE hardware sale table for $8 (half dead then). It has gotten so thick because I didn't know not to stop the water in the winter. My question is, it's so thick with leaves on the canes, I wonder if I should split it or IF I potted it in a bigger pot, would it spread out? I can't see how it would be attractive if it bloomed next spring with so many canes bunched together. It has leaves on all canes. I can barely see the media or the roots. Thanks, Ellen in Atlantic Beach, FL
