Are blue orchids real or dyed?

Blue moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) are often sold by florists or garden centers, which are white flowers dyed to achieve a unique color. A food-grade dye is injected into the base of the flower scape, and as water moves up the stem to the opening flowers, the dye changes the white bloom to blue. The bloom remains that color until it falls off, and if the orchid reblooms, the new flowers will be their original white color.

Other unnatural colors like orange or bright green are also popular during certain holidays. Identifying the orchid as dyed is often seen by younger, lighter flowers and the injection site can be found by inspecting the base of the flower scape near the leaves.

Do orchids smell like fish?

Wet foliage and high humidity in orchids can encourage the spread of fungal and bacterial diseases. Bacterial diseases do not respond to fungicides, making it crucial to know which disease you are dealing with. The most common bacterial disease in orchids produces a foul smell, similar to dead fish. Both bacterial and fungal diseases can spread quickly, and time is of the essence. To prevent fungal infections, use a clean cutting tool, cut off infected tissue, and treat the cut surface with a fungicide. Cinnamon, a common spice, is effective against fungal diseases and can be used to coat the cut surface.

The most common fungal and bacterial rots encountered in orchids include Black Rot, a fungal disease characterized by soft, rotted areas that begin on leaves or new growth and spread to rhizomes and roots. Infected areas are initially purplish brown, then turn black, and the outer margins of the infection site are yellowish.

  • Hello Holland and all orchid growers too! Start perusal this website! In Germany, it is frustrating that the shops don’t have the Latin names nor the names on the pots of orchids. Another problem is that the orchids don’t like it in the shop environments and stay stressed. They do not have any fragrance at all. Hello Miss Orchid Girl! It really helps to see some examples of fragrant orchids on your articles to get a feel for the appearance of fragrant families and parents of wonderfully fragrant orchids. It is hard to shop for an orchid without any chance of knowing its name to research about it, nor to be able to percieve its scent in a garden center. After a sales person has told me that they have no fragrant orchids, I could say, ‘Oh look! There’s one over there!’ At home, when the sun comes up, they fill the air with perfume. Now I would like some orchids with perfumes for the evening. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Education is a wonderful gift to give!

  • Oddly enough, I just received a 39 page print out of orchids and their smells. (The length was mainly due to huge font size and double spacing between.) One was even described as “100 dead elephants rotting in the sun!” So, you asked for the chocolate smells–so here it goes: Anguloa clowesii–chocolate & mint, paste, coconut, citrus (I’m guessing the various ways it smells to the most people) Brassavola flagellaris–Hot Chocolate Cattleya loddigesii–baked milk chocolate Encyclia phoenicea–chocolate Epidendrum phoeniceum–chocolate Gongora unicolor–chocolate-flavored corn chips, sweet, cocoa Oncidium ornithorhynchum “Lilac Blossom”– (ok, why lilac isn’t the smell no idea) vanilla, “like a fresh morning,” baby powder, grape, spicy, cinnamon, cocoa, candy sweet Oncidium Sharry Baby ‘Misaki’–chocolate, vanilla (basically all Sharry Babies. The name within the quotation marks is the clonal or cultivar name. For a brief description on orchid names: aos.org/orchids/additional-resources/basics-of-orchid-names.aspx ) Paphiopedilum emersonii–chocolate Stanhopea embreei–chocolate Stanhopea oculata–chocolate On the list I got, Encyclia cordigera is listed as smelling like honey & vanilla. So, Danny, it just goes to prove your theory of suggestion and whose nose is doing the smelling!

  • Yay! Great to see the Oncidium Heaven Scent. I have the same variety, I had to fight for ages to get it (eBay seller would not post it, thankfully I got it after 3 months, just couldn’t find it anywhere else). Thank you for letting us know how it’s getting on, now I know I can look forward to a lovely chocolate fragrance when it next blooms 😀 I smelt the Maxilaria ‘Malibu’ (if it’s related or tenufolia variety I’m not sure) but it smelled exactly like warm caramel to me.

  • My Sharry Baby “Sweet Fragrance” reminds me of the cheap hot chocolate that was sold am my school when I was a kid. Kind of like very cheap, too sweet milk chocolate with a hint of vanilla rather than than a straight chocolate scent. Mine is not as strong as I thought it would be but it might be that my house was so cool when it was flowering back in December that the scent just didn’t travel as much.

  • Top of the morning Mmmm that sounds delicious lollipop!!! I’m a new subscriber Love you website. Thanks for the information. Very useful to be able to have the knowledge to take care of my new orchids, got 2 for mother’s day. Very lovely but don’t know what to do next, to care for them. Thank you again 💗👸💗

  • I like the background music 🙂 & its crazy I’ve only smelled 3 different sherry babys, and I havent smelled it yet:( maybe it was my nose 😂. Looks awesome and psuedobulbs look great!!! Also I had a question, I took home some oncidiums my boss found growing. They were covered by other plants. It barely got sun. none have bloomed and yet they still grew. My question is will they bloom on their growths or will they have to grow new ones?

  • Hi. Your orchids are beautiful!! I want to ask you if you had or can please make a article about artificial lights we can use with orchids. Right now I am not using any because is summer, but I will need it for the winter. I’m in New Jersey, USA. I’m a newbie with orchids. Trying to learn all I can from your website. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!!!

  • I’m surprised that you say its fragrance is not at all floral. To me, these have the most wonderful sweet fragrance of chocolate mixed with some type of lily. It is true that everyone detects scents differently. I am curious as to whether other people smell the lily scent mixed in with all that chocolate.

  • I think that I have spotted relatives of some chocolate orchids but there is no smell in the stressed orchids in the store and like this😷 not easy. The label just mentions the company name but not one clue about the name of the orchid. Oops, then although beautiful, I had to leave them there. Could these nurseries, if you are perusal, please label them??????
