SPIKES ON PHALAENOPSIS THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN IN BLOOM FOR OVER A YEAR! 🙌🏼🤸🏼‍♀️ Very excited to have managed to establish my Phalaenopsis complex hybrid collection, to the point that I am letting them bloom on this cycle. In 2019, I cut 13 spikes off 90% of my collection so as to ensure their health for years to come, as opposed to letting them bloom and stay weak. As difficult as cutting the spikes off was, time has gone by so fast, here we are, healthy, well established Phalaenopsis #orchids established in leca and selfwatering... ready to bloom!
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'!
