After failing miserably with a phal about 10 years ago, I was called to by this lovely on clearance at Lowe's. She wasn't the only one on the shelf, she just was the The One. Of course I don't remember much except they like bright light not full sun exposure, good air circulation. And of course, this needs to be repotted out of the decorative glass cube it came in. Orchid soil, right?
This is Jiuh Bao Coral JB2108 with a bud.

The flowers are facing every which way! There are numerous flower stems not just one with uniform forward facing flowers. Is this an odd ball?? Will it change and become more if I give it the same constant direction of light ? Like I said, there were others that "looked" more like an orchid plant. But I just liked this one.

Hints? Suggestions? I have it in the greenhouse right now for increased humidity. It does not get full sun. Is morning sun ok?
