Phallies my way ( small )
 

I'm the first to say my growing conditions don't or wouldn't suit Phallies. Maybe I have to rethink this thought.

1st pic is a plant I deflasked 20/11/2010. I repotted it from a 50mm pot today into a 65mm pot & found a spike !!!!

2nd & 3rd pics are of Phal. Sogo Vivien in a 60mm pot, 4th pic is Phal. Ho's Little Caroline in a 60mm pot.
They are growing in 3 parts coarse perlite & 1 part composted small pine bark.

They look happy - congrats on your flowering.

What are you potting in Roy?

Thanks. I'm potting in 3 parts coarse perlite & 1 part small composed bark.

wow - that's great! charming bloom! :wtg:
what is it about your climate that Phals don't like?

The light in the house is more intense than what 'm used to by way of genuine Phalaenopsis growers. I've had a rethink on this and see the benefits of the light. The problem is that the plants ( even though they are by breeding ) dwarf & harden up too quickly, thus small spike & low flower counts.

Very nice, Gotta love the minis.
