Full Rescue Orchids Update! Orchid Recovery Series #4

Hi Everyone!

In this video we will be following up on the bundle of 15 discounted orchids that I purchased as part of a rescue orchids project. I potted them in little cups, mostly in semi-hydro with LECA, sitting them halfway down the cup to increase the relative humidity in their little environment.

The full Playlist is linked here:
