When to repot sequential bloomers? And new phals for me! Female
Default When to repot sequential bloomers? And new phals for me!

1. So, I have a NOID that I am fairly certain is a Sogo Gotris ‘Flora Ark’

I got it on clearance as its blooms were falling and much to my surprise, it is growing new buds at the end of the spike. (See photo, it's the reddish part, can't miss it)
I really need to repot it though. I did drop-pot into a modified yogurt cup bc it was in a small clay pot with NO drainage holes with tightly packed moss.
When can I repot it? I don't want to cause bud blast.

Also- is this considered a "sequential bloomer"? I thought sequential do like one bud/bloom at a time.
It also has at least one basal keiki (normal for that hybrid if that's what it is).

2. I got a Phal. Baldan's Kaleidoscope 'Golden Treasure' AM/AOS
It's a BEAST. Huge leaves and tons of roots.
Just a share here, no questions.

3. I got the following at an orchid society auction (my first!) and have a couple questions:
Tag reads -
Phal equestris v. rosea 'Harford' HCC/AOS x Phal bellina 'Ponkan' AM/AOS
Also, the Auction list said Phal. KS Mini Tris and then the rest of the name, but the tag just starts at Phal equestris, etc. I am confused about that.... which can I list as its "name"?

-What can you tell me about it?

-I'm still new to orchid-terminology so, does the fact that it is equestris x bellina mean it's like a primary hybrid or something? idk what that means lol

-It seems to be a sequential bloomer as well? because it had blooms on it and the start of a new bud plus maybe more growth at the end (only got it a week ago). Sadly, it bloom blasted (they all shriveled within a couple days, I assume that's blast?) and I can't tell yet, but I'm thinking the healthy looking bud it had when I got it has turned to that cranberry-look almost which is what I associate with bud blast.
Do I leave the spike or cut it?

btw, no fragrance that I could pick up and I think this was it's very first bloom.

4. Also just got a
Phal. Chiada Stacy 'Chocolate Drop'
(P. Caribbean Sunset x P. Sunrise Red Peoker)
Not in bloom.
Any special info you can give me? Does it have a fragrance? Prone to Keiki? etc
(not pictured)

5. And happy news-- Bloom spike on my first Orchid!!! I got it last November and it's my first rebloom. Wooohoooo!


Sorry to bore you.... thanks for reading and especially thanks for any advice!

PS, I have gone from 2 phals to 9 orchids within a month. How did I go all those months with just 2?? This is a sickness, friends.

1) It's not a sequential bloomer...it's just making more buds. As for the repotting...personally, I have never had any trouble w/bud blast when repotting phals. As a matter of fact, when it comes to phals...they seem to do better when repotted more frequently. You can wait to repot...or repot now...you choice.

2) Congrats on the Baldan's...it's a very pretty hybrid and yes, it will get even larger w/age.

3) KS Mini Tris is equestris by bellina so the tag is mostly correct. You can just list KS Mini Tris on your label or you can add the cross ( Phal equestris v. rosea 'Harford' HCC/AOS x Phal bellina 'Ponkan' AM/AOS) behind the KS Mini Tris...either would be acceptable.
And, yes, a species crossed w/another species is a Primary Hybrid.
I don't grow this particular plant but if it takes after the equestris parent then it has the potential to bloom off the same spike for years so don't cut it unless it dries up and turns brown.

4) not familiar w/that phal...hopefully someone w/some info will pop along soon.

5 - congrats on the spike!!

Lastly...it's never boring to talk about orchids so no apologies necessary. All are very lovely!

I didn't know they could grow more buds after the old blooms are all about spent... apparently they can tho lol

thanks for the encouragement
I'm still new to all of this.
