Phalaenopsis amabalis

We bought this species orchid from the Venice Orchid Show in February 2013. We got it because we think species orchids are interesting, the seller said it was a really prolific flowerer, it makes kikis which is just cool, and we only had one Phal. It was in flower when we bought it, and they lasted a really long time. It was potted in moss in a 4" clear plastic pot. We left it alone until it finished flowering. I sprayed the roots that were hanging all out of the pot everyday so they didn't shrivel up and die. The leaves and roots just seemed to be looking slightly starved for water. Once we repotted it into a 6" clay pot with moss, tucking all the roots into the pot, it really started to plump back up and look good. It is making two new leaves and looks really good. When we got it the bottom two leaves were in the process of turning yellow and falling off, which is still underway, but is otherwise really healthy looking. We water it when the moss is almost all the way dried out, and fertilize every time we water with either Dyna Gro- Grow or Dyna Gro-Bloom when it's in spike or flower. So far this plant has been like other Phals- pretty easy. We haven't had it very long so it hasn't tried to flower again. I like that it's lovely in a simple way. We don't actually keep it in the bathroom, but on the porch with the other babies. It was in there during the winter when it had to come inside for a few days. It now lives in the mini greenhouse with the others.
