WORSED EVER SCHWERTER HAUL ON YOUTUBE! UNLESS YOU CAN SHOW ME ANOTHER TERRIBLE HAUL (I HOPE NOT!)

#Schwerter ##SchwerterOrchideenzucht #Orchids
NO KIDDING! NO CLICKBAIT!! AM I JINXED?? Back in September 2018, I filled up the rest of my orchid collection with a massive haul from Schwerter Orchideen, Germany. Having done my research, I was impressed with the reviews, the quality of their orchids as they were unboxed by several YouTubers. Well, ... I do not know who was in charge of selecting the orchids for my order, and then actually packing them up for shipping! It was a shambles! A mess! Even some good orchids in the order were severely damaged. Early on in my channel, I uploaded a video of the candidates we see today... and now it is time to see how they are doing. How far have I gotten with the worst of them. If you would like to see the original video, HERE IS THE LINK: https://youtu.be/cv1NNOP8D5U ... in case you do not have time to watch, I tried everything to get some form of response from Schwerter, in English and in German, via emails, and scalding review on their web site... and heard nothing ... crickets!! I am not over this experience with them, as I am still fighting to bring orchids to grow well, for 2 years now. And you can tell, I have their original labels in the pot. I customize all my labels, so... something told me not to do that with this order... now at least, I can prove that what I am saying / showing / growing is, in actual fact, originally from Schwerter. I lost a lot of their very weak orchids within a few weeks... could be a plethora of reasons, but, if I had actually been fliming back then, you would agree with me, that there was really nothing anyone could do with some of the oregano that came in the boxes.
CORRECTION OF INFO WITHIN THE VIDEO: I would like to thank Ulla, a viewer, who in the original video pointed me in the right direction regarding just how much more calcium the Diacattleya Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle' needed in order to make the new growths develop without aborting. I remembered incorrectly and would like to ensure that the credit goes to the right person! Thank you, Ulla for being so gracious regarding my mistake! And thank you so much for telling me about the calcium needs of this orchid, which made 2 out 3 growths for 2020 actually grow properly!
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'!
