Prosthechea cochleata repot & clean up | SIX new growths | How to clean extensive orchid root system

#prosthecheacochleata #prosthechea #ninjaorchids
SIX NEW GROWTHS on this prosthechea orchid need to find space within a pot that has not been cleaned up in 2 years. Prosthechea cochleata is a super vigorous species orchid with spire shaped spikes, featuring multiple highly fragrant blooms, during the summer months. The vigorous growth characteristics of Prosthechea cochleata also extends down to the root system, so... let's create some space so that the new root system has room to develop healthy and as strong as what comes out of the pot in this video. #orchids #repotting #roots #orchidroots #orchidcare #orquideas #plantas #leca #selfwatering #howtorepotorchids
