Rhynchostylis Gigantea Care Spikes Roots Semi Hydro Update

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fet1thzIsJ4

Hi everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! • Today we are taking a look at my Rhynchostylis gigantea collection, a couple of new arrivals (The Orange/Peach varieties), transitioning to semi hydro and updates on my other three varieties: Spots, Cartoon and Red. The root growth recently has been incredible, we can use the last repot I filmed as a benchmark for root growth. In a few months they have already got new roots reaching to the outside of the large containers I placed them in. • Rhy. gigantea is often given the same generic care info as many 'Vandas'. In my experience, they have very different care requirements when kept in the average home. Here I also talk about these differences and how I keep mine growing well year round. • Playlist where future updates will be posted: • Rhynchostylis gigantea • Repot of Spots and Red into self-watering from semi-hydro: • Repotting Rhynchostylis Gigantea into... • My watering and Fertilising mix: • • Let's Talk : Orchid Nutrients!
