Orchids that are less than perfect - can someone evaluate?
Default Orchids that are less than perfect - can someone evaluate?

I’m so glad I found somewhere to post this!
So I usually buy multiple orchids at once to save money, from various suppliers. eBay, Facebook, Etsy, etc.

I am still what I consider somewhat new to this hobby, but I decided to offer the extra plants at the reduced pricing to friends and family members so they can get better deals.

However that means I’m even more paranoid about these plants than if they were for myself only. I want to make sure they are excellent plants, what to look out for, and that I’m actually offering good deals. It’s a little scary!

So anyway I’ll attach some pictures of “flaws” that I see and if anyone could evaluate them and let me know if they look ok?

As for my growing conditions here goes: I live in Michigan, I have a humidifier that is connected to my phone and the thermometer/hygrometer. It keeps humidity in the 60% range.
I use a fan in my growing areas during the day, and at night I have an ac I set to 66 degrees F. Temps during the day range from mid to high 70s F. Occasionally the plants in my living room might hit low 80s before I get up and run the ac.
Living room has east facing windows, bedroom has west facing windows.
I have started using rubbing alcohol on my scissors (instead of soap and water), I do repot at some point, but still have some plants to go. (Need more potting media and pots)
I started spraying with a rubbing alcohol/water/dish soap spray just as prevention.
The people I have bought from said they spray frequently for pests and things.
I think that covers everything I’m doing with my plants so far! Please let me know if I forgot to include anything.

Hmmmm it won’t attach my pictures something about a security token??
I’ll try using Imgur or something instead.
