Orchid Growspace Updates & Plans – Tallest Cattleya ever, african violets & more!
Today we take a moment to regroup and plan the Orchid grow space for autumn.. while talking about some other things as well :))
🦋 More info below! 🦋
I just received an orchid from my friend and it’s the tallest Cattleya type orchid I have ever seen! It’s the Laelia (Cattleya) Latona, a hybrid of the L. purpurata and L. cinnabarina. It’s over 60 cm tall!
Soon I will invest in more LED panels for my shelves, as I am very pleased with results so far! I don’t believe that stronger LED lamps are required for my grow space and my projects.
I am also thinking of starting my own African Violet collection and I just got myself a whole bunch of wonderful hybrids. They are much cheaper than orchids too :))) Who wants some AV videos? Also remember this? https://youtu.be/hhjHfMySn4Y I tried :))
I discovered a perfume that smells like Phalaenopsis bellina.. after 30 minutes since spraying 😛 it’s Mugler – Angel Muse EDT. You don;t know the bellina?? here she is https://youtu.be/SyRmr8cFQRU
