Phalaenopsis Orchid RESCUE🪴💪🏼 | Success with Lava Rock? | 12 month UPDATES #ninjaorchids

#phalaenopsis #lavarock #rescue
I’m excited to share the journey of my Phalaenopsis 'Alexandra,' a no-ID orchid named after her original owner. Join me as I detail the challenges and successes of transitioning Alexandra back to a lava rock setup after she struggled in LECA and self-watering. This video also includes updates on other orchids in my collection, including a keiki and a longtime rescue Doritaenopsis. Let's dive into the details!
Alexandra thrived in a semi-hydroponic setup with lava rock for years. However, a change to LECA led to a decline. In August 2023, I switched her back to lava rock, and today, I’ll show you her progress. Despite no blooms in winter 2023-24, she's starting a new leaf and showing active root growth.
Care Tips and Fertilization
Discover my fertilization strategy using calcium nitrate and CalMag to encourage healthy root growth. I explain why these supplements are crucial, especially in a dry climate with low humidity, and how they help Alexandra recover.
Doritaenopsis 'Aida' and Keiki Updates
I also provide updates on Doritaenopsis 'Aida,' a rescue orchid that struggled with LECA and scale issues. Now in lava rock, she’s showing signs of recovery. Plus, I introduce a keiki of Phalaenopsis pulchra, thriving in a lava rock setup.
