Epidendrum oerstedii | Phase 3 of 4 | New & Improved Pot 🤞🏼

#Epidendrumoerstedii #CoilostylisOrchids #OrchidsinSemiHydroponics
75% 'getting there'. After receiving this #orchid into my collection back in 2018, I was into #lavarock and #SemiHydroponics , so this orchid went straight into that set up, and it did really well! However, on having to repot it, the lava rock is not forgiving to the roots at all, so, in 2020 I transitioned the orchid into leca (partially) as a temporary solution to get new roots to adapt to leca. The fact that this orchid produces new roots in August, the hottest month of the year, is another negative for a radical repot, so... phase 3 to getting it to grow how I want it to is being implemented in this video!
I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to watch my video. I am very open to any comments or questions, this video may have brought up. Feel free to ask away and know that I will get back to you as soon as possible! Also, if you have any suggestions that you would like me to address in a video, mention them in the comments below and I will be happy to film a personalized video under the series 'Subscribers Inspire'!
