shadytrake said:Phalaenopsis Grissini is not in the RHS database, but here is the parentage. The RHS registered name is Phalaenopsis Brother Pico Striper so Grissini must be the clonal name, which is never registered with RHS.
They must be patenting the clone to mass produce.
So your tag should read: Phalaenopsis Brother Pico Striper 'Grissini'
(Phal. Sunrise Delight x Phal. Timothy Christopher)
Hope this helps you!
Agree with others to remove that outer pot. You do want humidity for the Phals, but not inside a pot with no holes.
Thank you! I have to patent info. bookmarked along with a few other sources of info. on it but although I have put my share of new entries in the db, I am unfamiliar with doing an Orchid so you have been loads of help Melissa.
I took it out of the white pot this morning & have the clear pot it's in sitting on some folded paper towels. I am about to go out & pull it out of the clear pot & inspect things. I don't trust these grocery store/ big box / special deal / mass production dealies & want to make sure there actually IS chunky stuff all the way to the bottom & that they didn't throw some moss in there somewhere to fill out the mix. I also need to rummage around in the garage & the shed too to see of I have a clay pot hanging around here anywhere. I know I don't have any clay orchid pots but a regular clay pot is better than the plastic it's in now.
I'm going to take some photos while I'm at it & post them for you guys just in case I miss something I ought not to.
Thanks y'all!
