Let's Talk COLOMI! What you may need to know for SUCCESS!! Taking this substrate through some Q&A.

#Colomi #Colomifororchids #Inorganicmedium
COLOMI! The webpage is praising this substrate for orchids, as revolutionary and the best alternative to any media for growing orchids, houseplants and succulents. However, I had some questions. Check the Timestamps below, if you wish to skip to the parts that could be of more interest to you. Not all my questions were answered, so a trial Phalaenopsis is potted up in this video, as a long term subject to see how it fares.
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'!
If it is the first time for you, on my channel... Welcome!! Consider subscribing for continued insights into my orchid growing journey, I would really appreciate it :)
