| Key elements on phals.
1) Do not overwater - if unsure, wait 2-3 days. When you lift up the pot it should be noticeably lighter - read about the skewer method of determining how damp your plant still is if you need help on when to water.
2) Do not put in direct sunlight. Good INDIRECT lighting. If the leaves get warm to the touch from sunlight they will burn.
3) Recommend you feed weakly each time you water - use a fertilizer packaged for orchids at 1/2-1/4 the recommended rate.
Just a few thoughts to get you through the initial learning curve.
Enjoy your new plant - VERY NICE!
