How long do the flowers last?

[linda01]

My Phalaenopsis flower has been open for about 1 week, and the second looks about ready pop open. I have 7 buds altogether, will the first still be around when the last opens up?

If it is a well grown plant and in a nice warm spot indoors they should last from 3 to 5 months on average.
Especially the big white types

As Ron suggested, it has a lot to to with the conditions you keep it in, but is also influenced by the size and maturity of the plant, not to mention the particular hybrid.

I think 3- to 5 months is good for a fairly sturdy, mature hybrid kept in really warm, humid conditions, but if you don't get that long of a blooming period, don't despair - get more plants!
