Orchid Updates – Spathoglottis, Paraphalaenopsis, sick Oncidiums & more!

Today we take a look at some orchids that are just interesting! Some you requested, some I just want to show!
🦋 More info below! 🦋

Paraphalaenopsis labukensis is growing.. slowly but surely. Look how tiny she used to be https://youtu.be/XNUw6oPQqIw

This spring I purchased a whole collection of Oncidiums, here is one of the hauls https://youtu.be/B5tYR-Q3_ik and repotting 10 of them https://youtu.be/xvAg9yY2iew

Ionocidium, or Ionmesa Popcorn ‘Haruri’ is growing so nice, hope to have some popcorn soon :)))

Trichopilia suavis is not looking great and never actually did great. I also don’t like those spots on the leaves 🙁

Cymbidiella rhodochila is also growing nice, but oh man, she’s fussy!

Spathoglottis affinis is growing very well, but no blooms yet. Look how I potted the bulbs https://youtu.be/mngiLZDBuOI

Asconopsis Irene Dobkin is giving me some feelings.. but she’s ok 😛
