Inorganic Media Experiments and Updates!

Hi everyone, and welcome back to my channel! Firstly, I'd like to say a big thank you to all of you for the positive welcome to the YouTube Orchid community! 500 subscribers- that makes me very happy, I'm amazed at how kind and welcoming everyone is, and it's great to talk to you all- So thank you all! This video is the first in a series exploring alternative inorganic media for orchids, in the hope of finding a more moisture retentive alternative that my moisture-loving orchids could do well in! I'll be looking at the different properties of each and selecting those that best match up to individual orchid requirements! Today we are just going to examine some of the initial properties I have observed for each after 1 week of testing moisture retention and absorbancy / wicking efficiency. The advantages of inorganic media are that it will never break down, so yearly or harsh repottings are virtually eliminated. In a self watering or semi-hydroponic set up, constant moisture and nutrient availablity means that the orchids are able to grow continually, unrestricted by wet-dry cycles. I will also be exploring some of the disadvantages or inorganic media- both in semi-hydroponic or standard media set-ups. In this video I have provided updates on the Masdevallias/ cooler growers in Seramis- initial video here:    • Growing Masdevallia Orchids in Warm E...   My initial discussion on semi-hydro is linked here:    • Semi-Hydro for Orchids: Discussions o...   Aerides keiki experiment first mentioned here, although I didn't film the unpotting (it was just picking the keiki out and putting into semi hydro a few days after the video XD):    • Vanda Summer Updates and Care in Warm...   If you just want to check the Houlletiana out skip to 06:25 :-) Thanks again for watching and I hope you enjoy the videos!
