Potting two plants in the same pot

[Girl_With_An_Orchid]

I should’ve known that the yellows were more picky! Beauty always comes at a cost 🥲.

The growing condition have just changed since I moved but they were in average humidity house getting a couple hours good sun through a window and bright indirect light the rest of the day. Watering was done when there was no more humidity visible on the inside of the pots. I generally measure that by the visible fogging/ water droplets on the inside. Watering is at least an hour long soaking. This is about once a week and will remain the same at my new place. Feeding is miracle gro tomato feed so not quite a 20-20-20. I’m am starting to look into a better food.

With the new place I’m in, I am looking into gro lights and a humidifier. It feels like a dryer space and they don’t get nearly as bright a light, even in an east facing window. There is a pretty big awning so it blocks most of the light except for the very early morning. Probably great for my Paph but nothing else! Temperature is pretty good in this place though, so that’s nice.

If I were to get a small humidifier and keep these guys next to it, will that fix the humidity issue?

Definitely look into getting a better fertilizer for your orchids, Miracle gro has... a reputation and I strongly do not recommend their products. You might want to up the watering, to twice a week no soaking, that way the plants will dry out but the Phal will not have to deal a longer period of drought. I doubt humidity will be an issue, the Chesapeake Bay isn't a place known for being dry.

Personally I believe that this hybrid just stays small and won't much larger than it is now, If you want better spike presentation I would just stake them. Again I reiterate no need to give them a larger pot.
