Phal finleyi  (minus) advice sought! Female
Default Phal finleyi (minus) advice sought!

I got a phal minus (not the name any more?) from Andy’s last summer. So, the roots look awesome. It has not dried out. It had 2 leaves. One yellowed and fell off. I spoke to one of Andy's people and they said that theirs all lost their leaves regularly (It is a deciduous phal so I am not so worried that it has one leaf left). My concern is that other than one leaf falling off absolutely "Nothing" is happening. No forward movement. No indication that it is "happy."

So, I was thinking that I am possibly not giving it enough light. I believe many of the "leafless" orchids that I have read about need higher than phal light. Chiloschista and dendrophylax ect. So I put it into a slightly higher light terrarium with my Cadetii which is giving me oodles of vegetation but no flowers.

Another possibility is that it is just not "blooming size" though I do not know how big that is supposed to be.

So, can anyone help me over here in Phal-land?
