Phal lueddemaniana "Mindanoa type" and phal schilleriana care tips
Hi everyone!
I went to am orchid show/sale and picked up two plants from the vendor Joseph Wu orchids.
I purchased a phal lueddemaniana "Mindanao type" sibling and a phal schilleriana.
The vendor told me the phal lueddemaniana can handle lower temps so I ended up going for her. They had one in bloom which also had a beautiful fragrance. The one I bought has a spike but no blooms.
Both plants are quite small and are packed in sphagnum moss. To me they do seem packed tightly but when I asked if I should repot it the vendor said to wait until summer and then repot the lueddemaniana in fine bark. The spike that came on the lueddemaniana is a little black at the tip but the vendor said the spike still has energy to bloom. I will attach pics and would love to know your thoughts on this and if I should repot immediately and if you think this could bloom again.
The phal schilleriana I purchased is really small it's almost like a mini. The vendor said they try to get rounder leaves on it vs long ones. I was told it is flowering size. Again I would love your thoughts and opinions.
Also of anyone has any tips on the care for these two plants. They are my first species!
Thanks!
