Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel!
In this video we will be taking a look at all of my Neofinetia hybrids and the couple of Neofinetia falcata varieties I own (Time stamps below). Most of my Neofinetia hybrids are with a Vanda parent, so give a larger form with different colour flowers.
This video is mainly to show the variety of hybrids you can get, they're super easy growing, compact and suited to being potted, so I think they're great hybrids for the home! In addition to this, they're super fragrant! There are so many colour forms of Neofinetia, that there are many different hybrid possibilities available, which are mainly free flowering and easy to grow.

I hope you enjoy the video!
