TEA TIME with ORCHIDS - How do you like your tea? Let me tell you, orchids like their TEA with LEMON

Orchids and their love of tea? With lemon? That's absurd!! OR IS IT?? Watch this video and see what can be achieved when using tea and lemons to revive a struggling orchid. In this video, I happen to have a rootless back end cut of a #CattleyaHoldenii which I would like to stimulate / help with some tannic acid. This is not a guarantee for success, BUT, I show a #Cattleyamaxima that was treated the same way 2 years ago. It arrived to me in the same condition when I received it from a seller who sold the back cut of a mature plant, and as is typical with Cattleyas, there were no viable roots to speak of. I invite you to follow me and my holdenii ... hopefully to successful recovery, this video being the start of a little series for this cut. Thank you for watching! Please, if you have any questions regarding the content of this video, do not hesitate to comment and ask away, below.
