Help! First timer with wilting blooms
Default

Overwatering a phal and rotting the roots is an easy thing to do so that is a valid concern. I like to let my phals dry completely between watering. With my first phal, it took forever for the middle and bottom of the pot to dry so I put styrofoam peanuts in the bottom and middle so everything dried evenly. Often stores overwater the phals and the medium has deteriorated in the middle so I always repot when an orchid first enters my home. The other big thing with phals is that when watering, always be careful not to get water in the middle of the upper leaves. This can lead to problems with rotting as well. Good luck!
