New to Orchids
HI ,
My husband bought me a beautiful Orchid and it is flowering profusely, it is looking its best at the moment.
But....I will need to know how to care for it, how to feed it, and it looks as though it will need re potting soon. I guess I will find out how to on the forum.
I think they need to grow in bark?
Thanks. 
Pennylane. |

Yay, I found out how to upload the picture!
I think it is a Phalaenopsis?

Yes, they certainly are, and I am desperate to make sure it stays healthy.
Do you think it needs repotting? you can see the size of the pot its in from the photo, it doesn't seem it has enough room, though for now it looks good. What do I feed it with? I'm in the UK.
Thanks. |
