I recently obtained a Phrag. Paul Eugene Conroy at a local club for free. The problem is I do not know what growing conditions this plant needs. Could you please tell me what light, water, humidity and temperature this plant needs.

Your Phrag is a hybrid of longifolium x wallisii and should be a sequential bloomer. As for care, I would think the "usual" Phrag care should work.... lots of light, moist but not soaking wet all the time, feed sparingly and good air circulation. I'm sure some of the true Phrag growers will chime in soon.

I disagree, it is a multifloral and will carry all the blooms at once....

high lighting (cattleya lighting would be great, but less is possible) , lots of water. I sit mine in a tray of water. Phrags are fairly easy, the take any potting medium. Household temperatures will be fine, same with the humdity, they will take household conditions (ideally keep it humid if possible).

Good luck!

I only mentioned the possible sequential nature because of the longifolium contribution. The wallisii offers the multifloral contribution. Sorry, don't mean to get anyone upset over this.

On the question of sequential... I have this orchid and it carried two flowers at once, then dropped one as the third opened. I think it had another flower before I bought it which had already dropped.

Not sure if that makes it sequential or multi-floral... but that's just my experience of this hybrid. At the time I thought it was sequential, despite the two flowers at a time, as it seemed to have an older one and a newer one an be slowly moving up the spike that way.

I'm trying mine in S/H at the momment. Not sure yet how it will do, but Ray told me he has/had this same hybrid in S/H so I'm hoping it will like it.

Mine is currently in an east window but with the cloudy days just now that's about the same as any window in the house. I plan to put it in the slightly higher light I get in the west side of the house once spring comes arround.
