Today we will talk about the different ways orchid growers grow their orchids and today we shall focus on repotting!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
Oncidium orchids do have a distinct set of cultural needs, which you can learn more about here https://youtu.be/DgmoGimzjLQ and more about how they grow here https://youtu.be/nCMap6e9zkg
But the correct culture can be achieved through different methods, which each grower develops and perfects in accordance with their needs. There is no one good medium, no one way to water and multiple things can work for different people.
There are techniques which make this easier, or faster or simply apply in different territories only. Media is different from country to country and quality varies as well. Quality can make some growers opt for medium preparation, but others will not and so on.
Then there are different opinions amongst growers, which are not necessarily incorrect, but rather more useful or more negligible. One of these is nutrient usage from flower spikes, learn more here https://youtu.be/tycoGvDhyvc
Media choice is a big one. There is NO perfect medium for everyone, just some that might fit you better. Here is a summary for organic orchid mixes https://youtu.be/cWFyQzJbGDg
And these are just a few examples, are you interested in more examples, such as watering, or cutting spikes? Let me know :D
