First flowers on the phalaenopsis I split and repotted.

Oh, well done. They're looking fine!

I'll be interested to see how they go on in subsequent years.

Clever girl Sheila I'm afraid I'm very lazy with mine I cut them all down in the spring and then put them in the greenhouse where they still are ,I suppose I should rescue them and bring them back !

You really should leave them in the place nearest to where they flowered Amy as they get used to those conditions.

You made me feel guilty Sheila I went to the greenhouse to look at mine and guess what one has a bud on it ,its back in the house :o) I Know Waddy but I don't like looking at pots on the window sill without flowers a lot of the time ... I want them to be in flower permanently Lol ...

I'm not very good with indoor plants Sheila I had a neighbour who was very good with Orchids his plants were always in flower ,I could never see why his did and mine didn't even with his advice :o(

New flowers will former on the 'old' spike but nowhere near as big. It's far better to cut the dead spikes right down so new spikes form. You have to have patients Amy...oh and fed them of course. ☺
