Fixing the Oncidium Orchids setup + Seramis water indicators
17.5K
Today we tackle the Oncidium orchids and completely change their medium from LECA to sphagnum moss!
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
As you might have seen in my 2018 year recap https://youtu.be/CUqEt5bIzXE a currently problematic group of orchids are the Oncidiums, specifically the intergenerics. They seem to not be perfectly happy with LECA as medium, so I am changing them to sphagnum moss.
I am also using Orchiata bark from Besgrow as a top layer for this setup, but I am noticing a bit of dust on some pieces. Not sure what it is for now.
Since I am using my DIY self watering pots I am going to test out the seramis water indicators from yesterday as well! http://bit.ly/2EtuuXQ
I think you can find these sticks for sale on Amazon or other stores as well.
