| Hi from Vermont Hello everyone, I'm so happy to have found this site! My phalenopsis was doing wonderful in bud, but most of the buds have since dropped, and the bloom that is open is really small, about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Maybe it needs repotting? Thanks for any help you can give me. Betsy      |

| Welcome Betsy!!! How long have you had your Phal. and where did it come from. Shock (moving a Phal, changing environment)can cause buds to drop???

| Hi and welcome to the forum Betsy. If you would please go to your profile and update where you live it would be helpful in us assisting you with your questions now and in future posts. Get a culture sheet on Phals. and this will help your care for your plant. Phals need light but no direct sunlight and need to be kept evenly moist but not wet. Make sure when you water, do it in the A.M to ensure there is no moisture on the crown at night to prevent root rot. There are alot of Phal. growers here that can assist you with any questions you have. Good growing and again, enjoy your stay here.

| Hi Janice, Thanks! Geeze, I think I've had this phal. for about 5 years. It blooms almost all the time. I always put my orchids out during the summer and bring them in early fall. I think I got it at our local nursery here. |

| Geez, you have had it A LONG LONG TIME. I made an assumption that it was new! Did you change anything from the past? I am going to let some of the OLD forum members respond. I am new to the forum but have been messing with orchids for two years. Where do you live?

| I've had pretty good luck with the orchids I have. My grandmother got me started about 25 years ago with a dendrobium. But this phal is very disappointing right now. I haven't changed it's location, that's what's worrisome. |
