#GVOS2020 - Laeliocattleya Fuchs Orange Nugget 'Dresden'

In my excitement at sourcing this beautiful hybrid, I clicked the purchase button 3x! So, i was a bit annoyed at myself when the package arrived, but then... it seems that fate did what it did because, 2 out of the 3 looked dodgy! The leaves were very pink (magnesium deficiency possible) and the pseudobulbs had brown blotches on them (but they were firm). The healthy looking orchid went to a great YouTuber, Fernanda Nascimento Orchids and Succulents. As you can see, the orchid in this video has no signs of magnesium deficiency anymore, however the back of the leaves still show funny yellow markings, whereas the front of the leaves are clean. I will do a separate video showing the two orchids next to each other. There is a slight apricot fragrance to be appreciated when the sun shines on it. I have it in 100% leca within a self-watering set up.
