So far, ok. She's started to drop some blooms (6/15 withered), but could that be because I let her dry out somewhat over the weekend? If anymore start to wilt, should I remove the flower spikes?

Thumbs up Named!

Thanks, everyone!

I learn so much here. Turns out this phal is named and tagged.

"P. Nobby's Amy MP - 0234 CR" ...? The tag also says in smaller writing "Blush Wk-13/07 04/02/10". What does...

Ok, Help - what are the advantages to knowing the name of your phal (other than wanting to show/clone your plant)? I'd just like a pretty houseplant, but if having a 'purebred' is truely 'better', I...

Thanks for your speedy answer. I was hoping that between air roots and the bumps below and around the basal leaves (new roots?) that it might make it. Too bad, so sad. Maybe next time! :)

Thanks, Eyebabe.

When I say use bamboo skewers, I certainly don't intend to pierce any part of the plant. I would use them as stakes/supports more or less.

Does this mean that I should leave...

Question To cut or not to cut at base of crown?

I have an office orchid bought from the grocery store. I won't be too sad if it doesn't make it, as it was simply bought to spruce up the reception area. That having been said, I'd like to save it...

Semi-Impulsive Mount for Phal

Hi guys.

I don't think I've got the knack for orchids. :( This is the second Phal that I've neglected and then over-watered and damaged its roots.

So, today, in a last-ditch effort to save...

So both plants have lost their roots completely. Not sure what did it, but I'm trying to move on!
