Hi Everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel!
Today we are going to be deflasking my baby orchids from their orchi-packs, into their first pots. I am choosing a self watering type system for these guys using semi hydro pots as seedlings require alot of moisture, and I feel like this will work well for them. I am also going to be comparing moss and seramis as seedling medias in this setup :-)
I hope you enjoy this video!
