Which colour combination is your favourite? ❤️🧡💖

🌱 In the full article, I break down:

• What salt build-up actually looks like
• Why it damages orchid roots
• How to fix it properly (not just guess)
• The right way to use a humidity tray

💡 If you grow orchids indoors, this is something you will run into sooner or later.

Let me know if you’ve seen this on your plants—I’m curious how many people have run into it 👍

Using a Humidity Tray for OrchidsWhen growing orchids indoors, especially moisture-loving genera like Bulbophyllum, many growers turn to humidity trays to compensate for dry air.It’s a good idea in theory—but if not managed carefully, it can quietly create one of the most damaging problems in or...
