I guess your phalaenopsis or oncidium plants have pots in the 9-12 cm range (no 8, 12 or 16). You can grow a C. jenmanii or C. mossiae in such a pot, if you keep an eye to avoid unwanted phototropism...

The plant is potted in an ice cream box of 500 millilitres, literally :biggrin:

From what you've all written and I googled, I'm convinced that it's highly likely to be a mossiae. Today the flowers have a noticeable liliac-like smell.

The plant flowered from an almost-dry...

Not very fragrant for the time being; there's a faint but pleasant smell. It bloomed when we were not away for a couple of days. I took it from the "grow" point to the "show" point of the living room...

Cattleya mossiae first blooms

Two years after the purchase, this Cattleya mossiae -if not mislabeled- has bloomed. Flowers are 12 cm wide without stretching the half-opened petals and they are large compared to the plant itself.

Questions about resting period

Hello,

I have two orchids which have not flowered yet. I guess they have a different growth pattern than normal. I'd like to hear a few suggestions on what to do, as I recently lost a plant that...

Question Cattleya hybrid with sunburnt or infected new growth

Hi,

My two-pseudobulb cattleya started a new growth but the new growth has a dark spot on it. I couldn't decide whether it is fungal infection or kind of a sunburn. Shall I leave it like that or...

I guess it's something other than a low humidity issue. As you see there is vegetation other than your phal thriving. I guess they need more humidity at the roots than a phalaenopsis does (which is...

Most of the time, moving the plant to another location shortens flower life because of a change in temperature, humidity, light or a combination of them.

It's safer to leave the plant as it is...
