Today we take a look at some orchids that you guys want an update on!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
1. Vandacostylis Colmarie is an orchid I received to save. Here is how she looked like https://youtu.be/YWWSmESv3Fo
2. Potinara Burana Beauty is a very vigorous hybrid, she is growing great!
3. Potinara Fu Shu Glory 'Happy Holidays' is also doing great, no buds in sight yet.
4. Coelogyne usitana is growing 2 buds at the moment! this is my favorite and only Coelogyne https://youtu.be/zP9GRCnihSU
5. Phalaenopsis violacea, just like the other summer blooming species are waiting for the warm season to bloom!
6. My Zygopetalums are still around and doing fine! One apparently had crown rot, but it's not a lost cause :)
7. Phalaenopsis Sun Pasat is looking fabulous, but barely blooms. She was part of an experiment with low light and I drew some great conclusions!
8. Vanilla planifolia is not doing anything different from our last update :)
9. Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, not a request, but a pretty one!
