I really have no idea! I have Riverbend and the flowers have a white/pink look to it that resembles the equestris var leacaspis pictures I have found online. I really don't understand tetraploid...

I have an equestris Riverbend in bloom right now and I was wondering where it fit in within the equestris familiy. Is it an equestris leucaspis?

I have a question about kiki paste. If I put it on a stem node but there are still flowers in bloom above the node, will this shorten the lifespan of the flowers in bloom? I just did this to a mini...

It can be tricky getting to know when to water your plants, so you should try and get on a schedule, like once a week unless you live somewhere very dry. Try to keep the potting medium consistent so...

You can always buy keiki paste on the internet and use it on an orchid spike, however it may produce more flowers rather than a keiki. I have never heard of a cut spike producing a keiki. The spike...

I wouldn't cut the spike, and it sounds like it is doing pretty well with hardly any roots. Why worry about a plant that seems to be doing great. It has green leaves and it wants to bloom!

Oh, I'm sorry - I didn't mean that you couldn't have any moss in the medium - that's a great way to retain moisture because it soaks up water much easier than bark, but it also dries out faster. I...

First, if you have it suspended in moss, the moss will dry out quickly and that sort of medium requires more attention. Try switching your phal to a fine to medium bark and put it in a pot...

White fuzzy bugs that look like silverfish? Mealybugs. Use a pesticide. I've tried natural methods like a mix of rubbing alcohol and it doesn't work.

You would know a rotten root. They are not dried out, but slimy, stringy and falling apart because they are decomposing. You can try repotting it like Talila6 said, but it could be suffering from...

NoID

Let's remember that most of us began our love for orchids with a NoID, so let's not discount them like a "starter wife". I have several NoID's that I've had for almost 10 years. They are my best...

It is a pretty deep purple, the pic might not show it as such. I guess there is no hope for this cross. Darn.

I definitely will post a pic and probably soon because it is growing rather fast. It isn't an old stem as I usually cut my stems off after they bloom. I bet it was open in this next month!
