| Phals like to be warm. Your outside temps might be just a little low. Environment, especially a change in it, can be the cause of flowers wilting. I think you need to leave this plant alone in a spot with very bright, but indirect light. Constantly changing the environment could be stressful. Don't woory about losing a few flowers. If you want to learn how to grow it, and you are successful, there will be flowers again this winter or even sooner if the plant decides to make new branches off of the old flower spike.
Fertilize every other watering, with balanced fetilizer at 1/4 to 1/2 strength of what ever it says on the label, unless it is orchid food where they have already changed the label.
If you plant is blooming, it is a mature plant, which doesn't mean it can't get larger. I would not go over a 4" pot, unless this gets to be one of those monsters that have some of the big leaved Phals in their ancestry.
Watering an orchid means running a lot of water thru the pot until the bark gets saturated, and then wait for the bark to get very close to dry before watering again. You can water the plant, then dump a cup of fert. solution in after you are done. Look at some of the old posts on using bamboo skewers. Cynthia, Prescott, AZ  |
