Hello Plant Lovers!

Hello plant lovers! A channel with basic orchid 'how to' and care videos for cold/cool/intermediate orchids that I grow here in Melbourne, Australia, without any equipment, greenhouses, grow lights etc. A passionate amateur lets say - I've made LOTS of mistakes, learnt a lot and had some good results so it's time to share what little I've figured out! Happy watching!
