Orchid Haul Update | Carmela Orchids - 1 Year Update: Madison’s Fragrant Deal $78 Cattleya Haul

Hi all! In today’s video I’ll give an update on my Carmela Orchids Haul from last year. I purchased these orchids in late June 2020. I repotted them shortly after and had good success with them. I’ll show you how they all did in my care, and how quickly some of them have bloomed. I’m very pleased with the cattleyas!
