Phal Equestris sanguinelli

[Ashleyma23]

I picked this up at Lowes for $3 the lady mispriced it. I figured 8.95 was ok for it bc it had two basal Keikis.
I should have kept them on the mother plant to have a spike show ,but I removed them but potted them together in the same pot.

I also bought three more clearance orchids . 2 minis that had the same leave color for $3 each which I potted them up together .

Another phal for $4.

I figure this way if I buy clearance orchids the rewards when they spike are way better!

It's growing a secondary spike
And a new leaf
Unfortunately I burned the roots on all of them. I did better when I didn't read directions and just eye balled the fertilizer. I am not fertilizing any of my orchids for some time now.

Thanks !

It was growing a new keiki or spike. I think it was a keiki but when I looked at the roots in the new medium I bumped it off by mistake . I hope it still grows happy 😥.

Awesome price!!



BTW - the correct way to spell out the name is ...

Phalaenopsis equestris 'Sanguinelli'

It's a species which is always in small letters (hybrids get capitalized) and the clonal name (Sanguinelli) is capitalized and in single quotation marks.
