Zygopetalum SUCCESS story | SELF-WATERING & LECA #CareCollab

#ZygopetalumTrozyBlue #HowtogrowZygopetalum #Selfwatering
VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO CHIME IN ON THE GENERAL CARE OF ZYGOPETALUMS. Mine is a NoID, but I think that #TrozyBlue is as close as it is going to get, without having anything side by side to compare the blooms with. However, as a general care guide to #HowtogrowZygopetalums in self watering with leca only, this video is a success story. I describe what I did wrong, and how 'we' (the #orchid and I) pulled through to come to the first blooming you see in this video, after 3 years! 🙌🏼
