Please help identify Phalaenopsis (2 plants)

[LindsayLoo]

I was hoping someone might help me identify two of my favorite Phals (they are two of my first orchids, from almost 10 years ago) I am sure they are both true NoIDs. That said, I am heartbroken, as I just repotted a few Phals, and happened to get some medium that seems to have a very fast growing, nasty mold (I am desperately trying to save them). The photos are two different Phals, I am not looking to ID them for a true name to show or anything like that, just because they are not doing well, and I am wondering if anyone has ideas of what they may be so that I might find something similar. Thank you for your time!

For one with some pink in the center, here is Phal. Island Star. The color on yours is more intense.

I really like the one with just a few spots, but the only spotted one I have has spots all over.

Welcome! There is a good chance you can save your plants. Take them out of that medium right now, and do some reading in these threads:

The Phal abuse ends here.

Thank you for all of the advice and feedback! I removed both from the medium a few weeks ago, and tried a different medium. I do not usually use chemicals, but, I used Physan 20. Unfortunately, neither is doing well. I have them both out of medium right now, with ventilation, lower light, and humidity. I am hoping they both have enough energy to work on some new roots

somehow, I always end up buying the leftovers at the local supermarket.....sigh....but I resuscitate them and give them to folks.....the plants in the supermarkets, Walmart, lowes etc....are all out of those huge warehouse operations who grow zillions of the same kind with tissue culture....they don't care about names or even if the orchid survives...better they die and people buy more, lol....but, they are grown from good stock, we know that much! chances are it is impossible to put a real name to them other than, PHALEONOPSIS.....and that is good enough! they grow them out, pop them in the stores cheap by the millions! first thing I do is GET THEM OUT OF THOSE POTS WITH NO DRAINAGE! thank god it takes a long time to kill an orchid!....all I do is take them out of the cache pot, and remove all the moss if they are in moss, and put them back in the same pot with bark....put them on a good water routine, and they come back a blooming! and I send them on their way...job done!

oops....I do not put them back in the cache pots...just the little 'sleeve' pot that is inside the cache pot....when I give them away, I put a couple corks in the bottom of the cache pot, and then put the 'sleeve' pot back inside...and give the recipient a lesson in ochid watering....so far, its about 50/50 on keep them alive, but the ones that DO keep them alive are thrilled when they get them to rebloom! another orchid addict!!
