I'm going to give you an update on my Tolumnia orchids' journey through the challenging years of 2021-2023. These tiny orchids have been through quite a battle with scale infestations, and I want to share my experiences and insights with you. First and foremost, let's dive into the persistent scale infestation that hit my Tolumnias. Despite my best efforts, these pests have proven to be a formidable foe. I'll discuss the specific methods I've tried to combat this infestation and share my honest assessment of their effectiveness. It's essential to know what works and what doesn't when dealing with these troublesome insects. Additionally, I'll touch on the cold stress factor that affects Tolumnia orchids, especially during the colder seasons. These delicate orchids are susceptible to temperature fluctuations, and I've learned some valuable lessons along the way about how to protect them from the cold. I'll share my strategies for keeping them safe and healthy. In this video, I'll also provide an update on the current condition of my Tolumnia orchids as we approach the winter season. Some of them have been resilient, while others may not make it through the harsh winter ahead. I'll discuss which ones I believe are at risk and why, based on their current state.
