One big phal. Male
Default One big phal.

I have a phalaenopsis that currently has 24 flowers and 19 buds.

The most recent buds to open are a little smaller than the others. I want all the buds open before the older flowers drop off and all flowers reasonably uniform in size. I'm thinking a little extra fertilizer might help.

Anything else?

I don't think that would help but I could be wrong. Most people say less is better in orchid fertilizer.

I think you should post one more time and then post us a picture of that amazing phal I for one would like to see it.

I think this is a natural behaviour for plants. If all flowers were blooming at the same time, the plant would consume lots of resources, probably more than available. By other hand, the time period with opened flowers would be reduced, hence the probability of polinization would be reduced.

I would leave it alone. Remember the story of the chicken with the golden eggs.
