11 mths Phalaenopsis still flowering

[Saphire]

I have a white phalaenopsis thats still flowering and producing new buds on the tip for the last 11 months. What am I doing right ?. Is this a common occurrence.

Congratulations! It appears that you have put together the conditions that it loves. Some Phals just do that. Enjoy!

Wonderful growing!

That’s great! I have a Trader Joe’s yellow Phal that bloomed for 9 months, it dropped its last flower in March and I cut the spike. Within two weeks it started putting out a new spike. It’s also busy growing roots and a new leaf. Bred to bloom!

I don't know how common it is, but I have a very similar-looking white Phal hybrid that I've had for about seven years now. The first couple years, it was fairly normal in that it would put out a new spike in the fall, bloom, and drop the flowers the next spring or summer before starting over again in the fall.

But the last several years it has been pretty much in perpetual bloom, with old spikes producing more buds on the ends, putting out secondary spikes from older spikes, and putting entirely new spikes out while old ones are still flowering. It's my most prolific bloomer!

As far as what you are doing right, I would have to say that is whatever you are doing. It really likes your combination of temps, light, watering frequency, etc. Very nice job!
