5 EASY POINTERS to CORRECTLY judge WHEN to REPOT in SEMI HYDRO | Assessing what orchids do & react

#SemiHydromadeeasy #OrchidsinSemiHydro #OrchidsinSelfwatering
Growing in SEMI HYDRO, the DEVIL is in the DETAIL! Not the set up! In this video I have compiled 6 points that I look for when assessing how my orchids are doing, year on year. What you cannot see in the pot, will manifest itself on the surface, and there are a lot of signs that I look for in order to make a calculated decision whether a repot is needed to maintain the health of the orchid and the roots! There are certainly more pointers that can make a decision easy to assess, but for me, these are the ones that have worked over many many years of growing in this method. If you have any other pointers, then please leave them in the comments below, because, we can all add to the list and share what we do to debunk the myth that Semi Hydro, or self watering, are the death of orchids.
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'!
