only water them once a week, and spray the base with some light fertilizer, that's what i do, and they grow like crazy

Just wanted to add to what the others have already said about the leaf, as long as it is firm and not mushy and it doesn't appear that the area is collapsing I think you don't have anything to worry about. :nod: Love the blooms on your new one though!

Thank you! No problems, everyone is doing great.


But it is sad. My sister had a beautiful orchid she got. She put it in a container with no holes and the poor Phal drowned. :/

I also wanna add my 2 cents worth. When you re-potted the larger plant, did you use old bark or you got new bark? I strongly recommend using new bark. They sell them at lowes. Make sure it is medium grade not fine grade.

What do you mean "They sell them at lowes."?

Lowe's sells Orchid bark
