I purchased 2 of these Phalaenopsis Naples nights x (Petite rose x Glad melinda) which also have mottled leaves, along with a Dendrobium Cathey Beck, and a Encyclia Atronecium 'Mother's Day' x Enc. cordigera 'Chocolate Violets for an orchid growing project on orchidgeeks . The best part about the project so far is I have the first spike growing. Here is my first project for the growing project. I took a coconut and with a machette I split it in half leaving 1 side still attached. Then I took orchid moss and let it soak in some worm tea water. I drilled a couple holes so I could tie the phals down in the coconut shell. Then I placed each 1 in each side being careful to pack plenty of moss in between the roots. These are the pictures of my project.

Hi Bestdank,
ReplyDeleteHope your orchid does well in the project. I've been following everyones results on Orchidgeeks with it so far, it's kind of exciting isn't it!? I'm still a newbie to orchids, but i am already so hooked, lol! I think the coconut shell pot is genius. You should drill holes on the ends to make it a hanging planter later on. Well good luck, and i hope yours is the first one to flower!:)
