Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl

lovely colours.

when the last flower on a spike has finished am i right in thinking you cut the spike down?

Lovely markings! I saw several of these at a show this week they are really fantastic.

very nice moth orchid Meanie, nice markings on it..

Thanks all - it was the colours on the lip that made me pay a little extra for this!
Sticki - I only cut the stems when they start to grow brown. Quite often they'll take a rest and then get going again.

ah, ok, thank you. Most of the stems already have a new shoot on which i am pleased about ~ not as spectacular as
Phalaenopsis Yu Pin Pearl though.

Remember to keep the humidity up!

Lovely, Meanie...do you keep all these in the kitchen?

It's looking great!

Thanks chaps!
This is in the spare bedroom Karen.

It's funny >Meanie, the first glimpse of this pic, and I thought, this looks like a Hoverfly ...wasn't till I read the posts, that it turned out to be a Moth Orchid....never seen one before...or if I have I don't remember...nice one...:)))

Phalaenopsis is probably the most common orchid for sale Crissue! I do think that this is a bit of a stand out though.......

It really does, I wouldn't even attempt to grow Orchids, it would die in my hands...not good with indoor plants at all...

These are a piece of wee-wee Crissue!
Water once a week and provide humidity - that's it!

Green Thumb outside---Black Thumb inside...lol...

I'll talk you into it yet!

:))))

lovely :)))))))))))))

Lovely colours and pattern there.

Thank you Paul, Homebird and 6d!

Your welcome Meanie.:o))

I found them very easy to grow as well - as you said - water them once a week, bit of moisture - mine are in the kitchen, west facing but huge trees blocking most of the afternoon sun - they love it there. Just remember about the right compost -special one for orchids, lol. And you won't fail growing them. And what a fantastic colours, lol. Mine are mostly white..

Thanks Kasy!
I must admit that when I repot mine I use sphag moss and grit - deffo the mix that works best for me.
