NEOFINETIA UPDATE | Moving my falcata to seramis & self watering | Care in my MEDITERRANEAN climate

#Neofinetiafalcata #Seramis #Selfwatering
In the past, I used to remoss my Neofinetias 2x / year, which always fell during the month of August, after the early spring remoss when new roots start to grow. As I am working my way towards a completely inorganic set up and growing methods for my collection, I will not be remossing my remaining Neofinetia falcata, instead I will take the opportunity to pot it up into seramis and self watering. I talk about my climate, how I take care of my Neos and a quick update on the ones that have already been growing in leca since Spring '20. Thank you to Orchid Garden and LucyTheCat for asking about my Neo care.... the inspiration behind this video. (their links are below)
