I assume what I was given is a phalaenopsis, but I'm so new to orchids that I don't really know what it is. It had a flower spike with pretty light purple flowers on it when I received it. It has a new flower spike starting now on it, and I seem to have successfully repotted it into bark type growing medium in a plastic pot with air holes.

I've been spraying it with an orchid fertilizer spray but stopped when I repotted it and brought it in for the winter, but in spite of running room humidifiers the house stays on the dry side, so I am dunking the pot in a tepid water bath for about 10 minutes every couple of days. I think the leaves and aerial roots and spike look healthy.

I am pretty savvy about lots of garden plants and herbs, but I know this is very different. Enjoying the adventure so far!
