White Phal Stunning First Rebloom

[dimshane]

It may be your standard white flower shop phalaenopsis but I still find it to be a stunning display!
For some reason, when you finally get phals bloom at home the display looks even better than at the garden center.
First rebloom for me here.

Side note: this phal lost its crown to bacterial infection in the rainy season last year. The infection has been treated. It still hasn't grown a new crown yet, but still managed to grow the most beautiful branching flower spike. I'm a happy grower🥲.

Wow, that is beautiful!

In your climate, consider potting them sideways, with leaves drooping over the edge, so rain drains from the crown. That is how they grow in habitat. People notice with time Phals. try to grow this way, even when potted upright.

Brilliant suggestion! I myself began thinking this is the way to go moving forward. Thanks! Or maybe even mounted on a tree.... It's just that I won't be able to move it around to enjoy it more 🥲

Isnt that the folage that has the yellow edges? Must be a different plant!

That's a variegated schefflera plant trying to steal the spotlight from the phal 😅

I have one, also a NoID standard white Phal., which is determined to grow sideways. I am seriously considering transitioning it to a mount as well.
