Orchids

Here are the pictures I wrote about yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxXaBn43YEH4ywKl-IbfmI8nmu88ybsPga

When I looked back at the entry I wrote yesterday, I realized that it contained an error. Because I have two orchid plants, not one. When I wrote yesterday's entry, I forgot the other one.

The other one came to my home earlier. And the flowers are bigger. I didn't mention it before, maybe because I was a little bit disappointed when I received it. I thought I had bought a traditional Chinese orchid with smaller, thin flowers. When it reached my home, I found it was just a normal garden type.

However, I found it was trying its best to grow and bloom. Then I think I need to respect it just like other plants in my little garden. So I'm sorry to ignore it when I wrote the entry last night.

When I looked back at the entry I wrote yesterday, I realized that it contained an error., because I have two orchids, not one.

Merging the next (incomplete) sentence with this one.

When I wrote yesterday's entry, I forgot the other one.

The other one came to my home earlier.

You could also say it “had come” to your home earlier, but the original wording seems fine to me.

And the flowers are bigger.

I didn't mention it before, maybe because I was a little bit disappointed when I received it.

When it reached my home, I found it was just a normal garden type.

However, I (later?) found it was trying its best to grow and bloom.

Adding “later” would indicate you didn’t find/discover/realize this at the same time as what you found in the previous sentence.

Then I thought I needed | Therefore, I think I need to respect it just like the other plants in my little garden.

So I'm sorry {to have ignored | I ignored} it when I wrote the entry last night.

The little one is pretty. Is the big one blooming now, too?

The other one came to my home earlierbefore this one.

I understand what you mean when you say "earlier", but it sounds like came to your house earlier in the day. So a small change to show a greater gap in time between the arrival of the first and the second orchid.

And the flowers are bigger.

Then I think I need toought I should respect it just like other plants in my little garden.

Changed "think" to "thought" to be consistent with the tense you used in "I found it was trying" in the previous sentence.

Changed "need" to "should" as it gives the notion that your conscience is telling you to do the right thing, instead of a mandatory task.

So I'm sorry toI ignored it when I wrote the entry last night.

Small past tense correction.
