So I bought a big Phalaenopsis Mariae that is P125 ($2.85) that has 2 flower spikes each with 2 keikis and a keiki beside it. It looked absolutely beautiful because when the keikis grow, I can have a total of 6 phal. Mariae's!!! 3 keikis have 2-3 inches of 2-5 roots,one has 2-3 roots that are 1-2 inches long and the last wich is only has 1-2 cm leaf span.
I bought it mounted on some kind of pine needle wood and clung on some moss it looked kinda bended like a U shape. Phals. In the wild usually grows upside down or side ways but this particular one followed the light and because of that, a long U shaped stem formed. I removed 2 dying leaves and left an old good looking leaf and 2 leaves that are new and another leaf coming out.
The phal is producing a new leaf, trying to grow 6 keikis, has many good green tipped silvery roots and is mounted.
From what is think the phal is not capable of having crown rot because the vendor waters it using a hose just pointing it to the orchid and just like that. Maybe it's because of laziness or because the orchid is high up.
I really need care instructions and tips on how to bloom and make this orchid healthy!
Thank you all so much!!!
