Orchids and their love of tea? With lemon? That's absurd!! OR IS IT?? Watch this video and see what can be achieved when using tea and lemons to revive a struggling orchid. In this video, I happen to have a rootless back end cut of a #CattleyaHoldenii which I would like to stimulate / help with some tannic acid. This is not a guarantee for success, BUT, I show a #Cattleyamaxima that was treated the same way 2 years ago. It arrived to me in the same condition when I received it from a seller who sold the back cut of a mature plant, and as is typical with Cattleyas, there were no viable roots to speak of. I invite you to follow me and my holdenii ... hopefully to successful recovery, this video being the start of a little series for this cut. Thank you for watching! Please, if you have any questions regarding the content of this video, do not hesitate to comment and ask away, below.
