| The majority of hybrid phals bloom once per year - I'm assuming we are talking orchids of the phalaenopsis variety? If so, again in VERY general terms - three months of blooming, three months of growing flower spikes, and six months of growing roots and leaves. Depending on culture, environment, and genetics your results may vary. Again, as Fred and Snowball has suggested - you may not be doing anything wrong at all? Ask away if you have more questions - lots of good geeks here on this forum! mike |
