Will be receiving my new orchid in a few days that I purchased from the internet. I don't know what it will be planted in, if anything. I have some extra disposable pots and have ordered Orchid mix just in case.

What should I be looking for when it arrives, and what would be the advice you could give?

Is this your first Phalaenopsis?

Probably, your current and future questions have already been answered. It's just a matter of finding them. Since you have time before the plant's arrival, read up.

There are very helpful threads that have been stickied at the top of the Beginner Discussion section. In particular, browse through The Phal abuse ends here thread. It will help you anticipate your plant's condition and needs.

Welcome! You're very smart to look up your plant's care before it arrives. They're not hard to care for, but they won't survive being treated like a generic house plant.

We look forward to seeing photos of your flowers.

Welcome to the board. Well if you are going to grow orchids you will have to get a camera as you will go nuts if you don't take pictures of them.

Default orchid arrived today
My Phalaenopsis came today in a 4" pot. It has five well-established leafs; two are about a foot tall. It came potted in a chunky bark mix and the root system is abundant and "white." There are some roots coming out the bottom, but my Orchid Mix hasn't arrived.

Will it be okay this way for a week or so?

Thanks,
Buttons

How exciting!

It should be fine. Get a skewer to check the wetness in the medium. There is a thread explaining this in the Beginner's forum.
