The plant is about 17"tall and 12" wide. Old flowers tend to turn a yellow colour before they fall off

Bud, angraecums are not difficult or fussy except that you have to be very careful during repotting. Soaking the roots beforehand is important so the roots don't break. I have mine in my favorite setup, plastic net pot and lava rock. The site, angraecum encyclopedia, is a good resource. They are neat little plants even out of bloom. If you can grow a phal or vanda (I know you do great with vandas), angraecums will be easy.
