When Do You Decide to Rehome an Orchid?

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

Phalaenopsis are a group of orchids that do require a seasonal change in temperature to bloom. If you are intent on growing Phalaenopsis, but are limited in space, why not try something like Phalaenopsis bellina, Phalaenopsis violacea, or Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi? They are much smaller than the hybrids out there, but are bigger than mini-Phals. Phalaenopsis pulcherrhima is a smaller species of Phalaenopsis that the majority of mini-Phal hybrids get part of their heritage from. Maybe Phalaenopsis (Kingidium) chibae, Phalaenopsis (Kingidium) deliciosa, Phalaenopsis lobbii, or Phalaenopsis parishii might be easier to accommodate by way of size.

Cattleyas and some Oncidium need pretty bright light to bloom.

Have you thought about growing certain Pleurothallids such as Pleurothallis hemirrhoda, Pleurothallis grobyi, Pleurothallis gelida, or some of the easier/warmer growing Masdevallias such as Masdevallia floribunda? Perhaps a Platystele orectoglossa would be something you might like...these are in bloom the majority of the year, do not grow large, do not require temperature fluctuations in season, nor do they need terribly bright light. Plateystele stenostachya are also in bloom the majority of the year and they are sequential bloomers.

Maybe some of the Jewel Orchids such as Ludisia discolor or Macodes petola might work?

You are not limited by choice of orchid. There are 1,000's of orchid species and hybrids to choose from.

With Jewel Orchids, you are not even limited to space. You can set up a small terrarium or mini-greenhouse for them pretty much anywhere in your house.

If you know how to grow Dahlia, maybe some of the easier to grow tuberous terrestial orchids can be tried, such as Cynorkis fastigiata or Stenoglottis woodii, Stenglottis longifolia, or Stenoglottis fimbriata. Want more color? Maybe Habenaria rhodocheila, Habenaria xanthocheila, or Habenaria erichmichaelii might be something you could be interested in.

Some miniature orchids can put up a show. The flowers are just much smaller. I highly recommend you make another post asking for suggestions on orchids that fit your growing style instead of sticking to this one. I think you've already been told all you can be told regarding your current batch of orchids so far.

The possibilities of orchid growing are endless.
