Phal Bellina
 

This phal is mounted on a piece of wood. It is the driest culture amongst my orchids, but when established, also one of the most robust and less easy to kill. It developed commando roots which can take much abuse, and surprisingly, can take much direct sunlight too. Don't try this with a newly established phal.

This phal survived sunburn, leaves damaged by sliding windows, roots yanked off the wall, no watering for 1 week before, lol.

When acquiring phals, I will usually try to find established phals on such culture (Not fernbark with moss), because they are very strong and robust.
This phal comes with 3 flowering spikes, and produces large flowers too. The scent is very nice and strong.

I love. I want!

love the orchid............and more so those fertiliser baskets. Do you have a link to where I can get some ?

Thanks

Thanks. Got the fertiliser basket from a thai vendor when they setup a booth during our garden festival. So I don't really know how to get more of them too. I put osmocote slow release fertiliser in them, and they last a very long time.

You probably can improvise using lady's stocking and fashion them into a small bag.

thanks for the idea !!!
I just placed a small order for plain black with a Thai vendor. I have used stocking before, but these are 1000x better !
