You should because this whole group of closely related species will bloom at a young age. They bloom with a branched spike with more flowers as it matures.

Cool I am looking forward to it I also have a phal sanderiana ole lukoje x the sandman umbrella I'm going to order from the same company

Looks good! I am glad you moved this pretty plant into bark!!

Yeah I noticed the top was green and had a bad smell also the leaves had honeydew and drooped

but all that's gone now it looks great

Honeydew is not a bad thing. Excess honey dew on the leaves and spikes means your plant is healthy and excreting surplus sugar.

I did not know that thanks

The new phal sanderiana ole lukoje x the sandman umbrella should be cool too I'm into collecting phalaenopsis

Your are welcome!

How big can they get the phalaenopsis Philippines also how many leaves do they grow per year I know wild phals bloom less than hybrids

Technically they are not 'wild' phals. They are properly "species" Phalaenopsis.

The better the culture, the better they grow. A plant with 4-6, 3-4" wide leaves and 8-10" long would be a nice sized plant.
They don't keep growing leaf after leaf. Phalaenopsis do not carry 12, 15 or 20 leaves.They generally mature and maintain four to six leaves. They don't last forever. Again, the better the culture, the longer the leaves last.
How does one know if the culture is good?? That is the million dollar question. With Phalaenopsis every new leaf should be as large, or slightly larger then the one that preceded it. If each leaf produced is slightly smaller to significantly smaller, that is not good! That is a sure sign that something is wrong with their culture.
And with Phalaenopsis they should be repotted into fresh media every 2 years typically.

Hmm. Mine is working on leaf # 12 in your oreo planting medium. Yes , this is year 2 and time to repot. Last bloom spike was fewer flowers and short lived, but I blame that on weather.

yes probably a good idea to repot than. i just repoted mine out of the spagnum and into bark from orchids limited. i caught the root rot in time its going to be fine. one root was kind of mushy but i saw new growth on most of the roots so its great.


i get a new phal on thursday to add to my collection.

i think i'm going to get rid of my nependies they just are not pitchering enough. and taking up space i could use for something that can live in my conditions i have. setting up the mist maker is impracticable because of how my room is arranged.
