Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel! Today we are unboxing a (mostly) cool-growing miniature orchid haul! I'm expanding my Masdevallia and Pleurothallis collection, with some new (and fragrant) additions!
These orchids were purchased from a German nursery called Großräschener Orchideen (Sorry for not even attempting a pronounciation) :
Mounting clay pipe 4.5 x13cm
Meiracyllium trinasutum 02:30
Masdevallia datura 04:20
Pleurothallis spec. yellow 04:46
Anathallis (Pleurothallis) linearifolia 05:15
Masdevallia decumana 05:30 (Link to video in bloom )
Masdevallia guttulata 06:00
Anathallis (Pleurothallis) pabstii 06:55
Masdevallia estradae 07:19
Masdevallia coccinea 07:50
Then a racap and some general cultural info on how I keep my existing cool-growing minis; Masdevllias, Restrepias and Pleurothallis :-)
