Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. In today's video we are going to be talking a
little bit about Orchids. I have made up a list of my top five beginner orchids that
I think Anyone just getting into orchids should look into these five.
Starting with the fifth one, we are going to be talking about Cymbidium's. Cymbidium's
are a wonderful orchid. It's an orchid that's on the large side so it's hard to have a house
full of them. But they have beautiful strapy Leaves And flowers bloom in the middle of
winter When you need them the most. Next on the list is Cattleya Orchids, cattleya
orchids are beautiful easy to grow orchids. These guys are not gonna mind in the house
on the windowsill, or under lights in the house. These guys are going to like warmer
temperatures, the trick to getting these to rebloom is in the springtime or the summertime
When the Bulbs are mature, you want to give them a slight drop in temperature. So throw
them outside in the summertime, as long as it's nice in your area And that should Stimulate
flower growth for the fall. Number three, number three for me is on Oncidiums
and all their hybrids. Oncidiums are fantastic orchids they are easy to grow. They are very
temperature tolerant they can take nighttime lows down into the 50s, and they can take
room temperature as well. You can put them in a sunny east or west facing window, Keep
them out of direct noonday sun especially through the pain of glass. Oncidiums flower
on the newest bulb, so once that bulb is fully mature you want to Give it a slight chill
in temperature, maybe five or 10°. So if the room is 70 try to bring it down to 65°
And that should stimulate flowers for you. And number two on the list is Dendrobium Phalaenopsis.
Dendrobium Phalaenopsis are beautiful orchids, they flower two or three times a year. They
flower off Old canes , and they take very little night time drop in temperature to get
them to rebloom Off those old canes. They always seem to be in growth and it always
seem to be in Spike or flower. And the number one favorite orchid that I
think all beginners should start out with... These guys right here. This is a Phalaenopsis
orchid or a moth orchid. They are beautiful orchids, very easy to grow, come and all kinds
of colors. Anything from white and purple to mixed oranges and speckles anything you
can imagine. They come in all sizes, like the minis here. And they come in large sizes
as well. Something That is going to fit into anybody's home, they don't take much light,
They don't take much care, re water them just as they're approaching dryness And they're
going to do the rest for you. So anyways guys, that is my list of great orchids for beginners.
Remember that list goes, number five Is Cymbidiums, number four is cattleyas, number three is
Oncidiums and there hybrids. Number two is dendrobium Phalaenopsis And the number one
orchid that I think I'll beginners should start out with... Is going to be the regular
moss orchid or the Phalaenopsis orchid. Anyways guys I hope you enjoy those tips.
