tinytopaz- I am not sure if you are saying that your phals have not bloomed for you since your initial flowers faded? If you bought it with flowers they only last a few months - that is normal. If all you have now are leaves on an otherwise healthy plant (after three years) that is not. It could be they are not getting enough light, but the more likely reason is that Phals need a twenty degree temperature change in the Fall to set flower spikes. If you have it in a room with a constant temperture year round most will not bloom.

Knowing exactly what type of orchid you have will help greatly - we are sort of guessing that you are talking about phals.?? Also, where in the world are you and your plants living??

BTW - nothing more cozy then a cat sleeping in a sunny window!!
