【栽培記録】吊り鉢コチョウランの植え替え｜虫食いからの夏越し対策

Something shocking happened... I was looking at my cherished hanging orchid and suddenly noticed that the new shoots had been eaten away by insects and were in tatters. Since I hadn't been able to repot it for a while, I took this opportunity to trim the roots and reshape it so it could survive the summer.
