Welcome to the Orchid Board!!!! As far as NOOBs go, with as many species, varieties and hybrids, with different cultures and growth habits, any Orchid enthusiast remains a NOOB for life. That is one of the great things about orchids; there is one for every taste and condition. I have studied orchids for 37 years and every time I come online I learn something new. This culture will keep you young!
Enjoy your phalaenopsis and be adventurous!
