Orchid Updates – Spathoglottis, Mystery Orchids, Vanda Mimi Palmer & more!
Today we take a look at some Orchids which need some updates! Things are always a mixed bunch, but there is always hope 😀
🦋 More info below! 🦋
Spathoglottis affinis is growing a flower spike, but all the leaves have fallen! It is normal, this is a deciduous Orchid 😀 here is how I planted the bulbs https://youtu.be/mngiLZDBuOI
My NoID Oncidiums that I got from Orchids Deluxe is in bloom! I think it is a Oncidium Red Mini ‘CT Little Cherry’. Here is the unboxing of that orchid haul https://youtu.be/q-yPxpduAdY
The Cattleya specimen we put together earlier this year is announcing a great flower show! Here is how to get a bushy orchid in 10 minutes https://youtu.be/6PMp6VEUNc4 and what you should know about community pots https://youtu.be/eJrd9FASLrQ
Vanda Mimi Palmer and Rhynchostylis gigantea var. Cartoon are recovering very slow, but do much better with a more water retentive media! https://youtu.be/kGgnRnWBFgs
How I lost my Tolumnias and some Vandas https://youtu.be/Ne8KRI-31FI
The Zygos I recently received adjusted super well and one will bloom! But one has some issues that might be worse than we thought https://youtu.be/XDuxhUrdRVE
