Orchid Q&A#35 – Phalaenopsis bud blast, root burn & more!

Today I am answering more questions you guys left in the comments of my videos!
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼

Orchid root tips are the most sensitive part of the root! Hard water and salt accumulations can severely damage them. make sure water is soft and you are on top of flushing the pots!

Self watering pots use a synthetic thread for whicking water. This will not break down and will last for a lot of years!

Not all my orchids grow well in LECA. Here is a look at my various setups https://youtu.be/Er0vMYYqJ1c

The supplemental light I use is not especially made for plants. They are LED shop lights, learn more about it here https://youtu.be/VdCVHqjFFpg
