I recently received a very healthy, large phal that is potted in sphagnum moss in a 4" pot and has a very short bloom spike. The plant leans off to one side...
Hi Lisa, I've been told that it doesn't hurt phals to be repotted while in bloom. Phals like to be repotted frequently. However, if you want to wait till it...
Hi Lisa, when you say the plant leans off to one side I'm not sure what you mean by that unless you mean its not standing straight up... If that's the case it...
Thanks for the advice. I have now put the phal's plastic pot into a cache pot (no holes), which I think will keep it from dumping over even when it blooms....
I think you should put it into a bigger pot with holes..keeping the potting medium too wet, especially in the winter months is not a good idea (according to...
I am having a hard time getting rid of the last few scale insects on two of my phalaenopsis plants. In the meantime, I am keeping my new orchids in quarantine....
Lisa try using rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Use once every 4 or 5 days for a period of 3 weeks. The alcohol will not harm the phal but will kill the...

I know that having enough light is important for getting Phals to bloom, but how important is light for Phals that are too young to bloom? Should I put those ...
Hello Lisa, Good lighting is always a must but requirements can change somewhat ... When we are growing out seedling phals here we give them much less light ...
Hi Jeff, I really appreciated your information for Lisa as I, too, am fairly new to orchids. What would you recommend for any of us who might have trouble ...
Can I be educated on light requirements for phals? I need the info in fc's or lux, as i have a light meter. I grow my phals under natural light. Khushroo -...
g-Morning, If you do not have the space for growing in a couple of different conditions IE. Temp and light ... I would still try to move the seedlings into a...
Last week I bought a phal at Trader Joe's that has a main bloom spike and a large secondary bloom spike. They both have flower buds forming on them. It must ...
Should I have cut the Dendrobium Phala. Spike after all the flowers had quit growing and died off? The spike was dead too....how far down should I cut it? I...
Hi Mark, Yes, you were right to cut the old dendrobium spike off to a nub. However, if the cane loses its leaves, do not cut it off. Dens will bloom on both...

I'm baaaaaaack! I have a question. Does anyone know where I can find phals. "Be Tris" and "Cassandra?" I've exhausted myself trying to locate them and no...

Gregg, There really is no such thing is a "division" from a Phal. Phals have a monopodial growth pattern, and unless the plants happens to send out a keiki,...
Hey, Gregg and Patty - While I'm not disagreeing, Patty, I have has some limited success with generating new growth from another part of the phal. I'm curious...
Denise that makes absolute sense. Why wouldn't that work? Thanks for the hint. I don't have any phals anywhere near tall enough to do that, but I certainly...
I don't have a clue who you are, but I have nothing but much appreciation for you and your help. I won't get too excited yet. I will check the site you...
Thanks Patty. I knew that. I sent the post too fast. I usually read over what I write, but didn't that time. I'll be more careful from now on. Gregg "Patty R."...
