Here’s a personal collection plant I’ve had for years. This is exactly why I love these latouria type dendrobiums. They can bloom off older canes as well as new ones. And I’ll be totally honest, I definitely neglected this plant last year. Then my boyfriend took over care, and now look at it! I’m always amazed by these plants. We have a latouria type dendrobium available on the website, Den. Kai Quintal, and have two left.

The plant pictured is not for sale, its Den. Kyle Quintal and we still work with the hybridizer and often get plants from their nursery. They’re tough plants that can come back from neglect. I share this so you all know if orchids intimidate you, please know there are varieties out there that love under waterers, over waterers, and everyone in between.

Osp. Fran’s Jewels ‘Brilliant’ is a gorgeous oncidium hybrid with striking red blooms. Like other oncidiums they prefer not to dry completely between watering, in our growing environment at our house that means we water twice a week (most weeks). I also prefer to repot into either sphagnum moss, fine bark, or a mix. They have fine roots and while the pseudobulbs do act as a kind of water reserve, they will not shrink and grow back once the experience a dry period, however new pseudobulbs will be nice and smooth if consistent watering is maintained. Oncidium hybrids are a popular variety found throughout many orchid growers, this variety is more compact with shorter flower spikes but can branch off the main stem as they mature, producing a bouquet of blooms.

These and other varieties will be available at Phelan Gardens on Saturday, Nov 14th, 9am - 2pm.

More cycnoches blooms!

1st photo: C*c. Bronze Vixen ‘Cool’ x C*c Richard Brandon ‘Bronze’

2nd and 3rd photos: C*c. Cygnus Atratus ‘Coffee’ x C*c Richard Brandon ‘Sun Spots’

The last two photos illustrate the differences in these hybrids. Because these are not clones, but seed grown, there can be a large variance in color even between siblings!

Odontocidium Wildcat ‘Golden Red Star’ is an oncidium hybrid that puts off sprays of yellow and red blooms! These guys are TALL, some of my current spikes are 24” tall! With nice branches coming off the main stem they are like a bouquet of blooms! There can be some variation in the color of the blooms with this variety, from more yellow to more deep red.

Oncidiums are very similar in care to Phalaenopsis in that they like bright, indirect light, house humidity and temperatures are in their wheelhouse, and they like a balanced fertilizer (weakly, weekly!). However, unlike Phals they don’t like to dry out too much between watering. We water 1-2x per week depending on how quickly they dry out. Ours are grown in sphagnum moss to help keep their roots moist, simply water when approaching dry and give them a thorough drink! Some pauedobulb shriveling may occur if they are not getting enough water, but just ensure their pots aren’t staying too wet! Their smaller roots can be prone to root rot. Most people move to oncidiums once they’ve tried out phalaenopsis, so this could be the next step in your orchid collecting!

Den. Hsinying Smile ‘Mont Blanc’ is a compact growing orchid with gorgeous clusters of white blooms. They are prolific bloomers and mature plants can be covered with bloom clusters along their canes. These dendrobiums bloom from late fall to spring. They prefer heavy watering during active growth (usually spring and summer) then a short dry season in fall to trigger blooming. Room temperature fits this variety nicely, and they prefer to be fertilized only during active growth season.

Only have a small space but love dendrobiums? This may be the variety for you!

We have a couple of gorgeous Paphiopedilums available! Paph Pleasantry and Paph Sunbird. Paphs, also known as Lady Slippers, like to be well watered in a chunky bark mix, bright indirect light and feature beautiful mottled leaves that are a treat to look at when they’re not in bloom. Paphs are easier to grow than they look, try out something new!
