Rupicolous Laelia Update + Community Laelia Project with Ninja_Orchids

Hi everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! In this video we are taking a look at the little rupicolous laelias that I unboxed here:    • Miniature Laelia Unboxing! I Finally ...   . I have 3 species, one hybrid and I'm also including the Sophronitis coccinea in this update, since they are similar- I got them at the same time, keep them in the same location and give the same care 🙂

Orchids in this video:
00:00 Introduction
00:40 Laelia Crispilabia (repot)
09:40 Laelia flavasulina
10:50 Laelia cardimii (blumenscheinii)
12:05 Sophronitis coccinea
13:08 Laelia lucasiana x Cattleya harrisoniana

I am filming this as a community project with Ninja_orchids, thinking we could both put as much info about them as we could out there! Seeing how they respond to different media in different climates gives us lots of good info! Hopefully that will be helpful to people purchasing them in future 🙂
