Is 13$ is a good price for phalaenopsis?

I agree with wintergirl!
I bought a Paph delenatii with an older growth, and the newest growth in bud, at my nearest greenhouse for $15. I have seen those well above $20+ for mature plants, not in bloom... And without shipping costs added.

Sometimes it's hard to resist the deals you can find around the greenhouse.

I would be buying more and more phals if I got them for under $15! You're lucky to be getting them for 13.

So I kind search for something like hygrochillus parishii bought seeds and potted 1 month ago but still nothing germinated. So I don't want usually phalaenopsis I want something with medium flowers or bigger and that can tolerate home environment and will thrive. I believe they have almost any common orchid they are a collectors that started 40 years ago importing from Vietnam and China.

umm u cant just pot orchid seeds and expect them to grow. u need to flask them because thats the only way they will grow. (other than in the wild)

Yes I know I did it in jars with the right media with many sterilisation just tried to short it as "poting".
