#rupicolous #laelia #repotting
After five years of dedicated care, my Rupicolous Laelias are finally showing signs of improvement, and it's time for a much-needed repotting.This video is all about a significant milestone in my journey with 2 rupicolous laelia orchids. In this informative and hands-on tutorial, I'll walk you through the entire process of repotting these once-weak orchids that are now on the road to recovery. We'll explore why I decided to repot them and delve into the critical issue of their current media mix, which has been staying too wet for too long. One of the key elements we'll discuss is the choice of pot size. I'll explain how selecting the right pot size can make a world of difference in the health and growth of your Rupicolous Laelias. We'll also take a closer look at the media mix I've chosen and why it's the ideal choice to ensure proper drainage and avoid over-saturation. Throughout the video, I'll provide side-by-side comparisons of my orchids' struggles over the years and the remarkable improvements they've made. This visual journey will inspire and guide you in caring for your own Rupicolous Laelias. If you're an orchid enthusiast or just starting your orchid-growing adventure, this video is a must-watch.
