Oncostele Wildcat 'Golden Red Star' | ONCIDIUM ALLIANCE Self Watering & Leca

#OdontocidiumWildcatGoldenRedStar #OncidiumAlliance #SelfWatering
This video shows what happens to the root system, with the Oncidium Alliance orchids, IF you let the micro fibres dry out. These are thirsty orchids, and the leca should never be allowed to dry out, even if the reservoir is empty on occasions. Especially during winter, I do not fill the reservoir all the way, to avoid over watering, BUT that makes these types of orchids dry out faster as well, which has to be avoided, so as not to compromise the existing root system!
I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to watch my video. I am very open to any comments or questions, this video may have brought up. Feel free to ask away and know that I will get back to you as soon as possible! Also, if you have any suggestions that you would like me to address in a video, mention them in the comments below and I will be happy to film a personalized video under the series 'Subscribers Inspire'!
