Hello everyone, I have a phalaenopsis which is only a year old. I had the two original leaves on it turn yellow and I pulled them off but I have a new leaf on...
I think that it may be that you are watering your orchid too much. They need very little water, really (just make sure that the top third of their soil is...

Thank you orch guy and Margaret for your answers. My phal now has three leaves from five. I took the two yellow ones off. As for watering, I hadn't watered in...
Hello, I've been having a Phalaenopsis for the last half a year. It had 4 leafs and a new one coming out. One month ago or so the oldest ones started to turn...
My understanding is that Phals need less water than the Oncidium, and also less light. Watering of Phals should be done when the potting mix is almost dry. Put...
Dear kdubash, Thanks for your detailed explanation. I don't think it's because of too much light cause I have the room rather dark now to prevent heat from...
Hello everyone, I am new to the group and have a question for everyone. About 12 years agao I had a collection of about 50 Phals when we lived in an apartment....
Hi, Phals not only don't like the direct sun, but prefer less light than most orchids. So whichever side you choose it should the one which does not get direct...
Heat and humidity is not the problem but thanks for the extra input. What I need is some advice on which side of the house to actually place them. Even the...
Hi all, I've written before that the most successful professional growers in my area (Michigan USA) grow their Phals with their Vandas, but with perhaps a...

I received a single plant bearing three gorgeous white blooms as a gift a few weeks ago. This prompted my first adventure in gardening. And the plant is...
Maurice, Take it out of the saucer of water. Not good to let them sit in water. Most orchids like to get wet and dry off, although phals do like to stay a...
Maurice, You have not indicated if you keep water in the saucer all the time...if yes, this practice must cease immediately. Phals (like most orchids) HATE ...
Denise, You could be right here...I don't know. Most books I have read say Phals are like slippers, and like less light than most orchids, and this is the...
Hi Maurice, I would suggest you look at http://www.theaos.org/orchids/culture/beginner/phals.pdf These cultures sheets come from the American Orchid Society...
I'm curious - why do people recommend a liquid fertilizer? Seems to me it would make no difference whatsoever. ... __________________________________ Do you...
I understand foliar feeds work faster, whereas fertilisers in the soil are much slower to be absorbed. Since the stomata are (mostly) on the underside of...

Rick, I really like that mini Phal a lot. Do you remeber were you got it or do you happen to know of any sources to purchase a "mini-mini" Phal. If you could...
Yesterday I checked more closely my Phal., which had lost all its leaves a few weeks ago. I took it out of the pot and I had the impression that the roots are...
Hola, Lluis - When I have a plant that is doing this poorly, I put it in a plastic bag, bare root and leave it for awhile. Sometimes I get a welcome surprise!...
