I repotted this fellow a little over a week ago, and he's putting out a new leaf!
This is my first new leaf!
This little Phal is the second one I bought, and I picked him up because I thought he looked really healthy. True to my hopes, he's never given me any trouble.
As you grow with your orchids and you buy pricey or valuable plants that excitement often turns to relief when you see a new leaf! But it never stops feeling great!!
There's a fair amount of relief mixed in with the excitement already! I had previously re-potted two other orchids, and they both went downhill afterwards. One of them is nearly rootless now, and the other one is just sad looking.
I know they're supposed to sulk for a while, so I'm amazed to be getting a new leaf so soon!
