Default Phal bulb

phaels dont like direct hot sun. they do fantastically well in an east window. put
them on a pebble tray with a little water for humidity and give em a good soak once a
week. too much misting rots the crowns. they dont really like much fertilizer. a
few of those time released "pearls" are fine. now I cant get paphs to even live!!!

A couple of months ago I was elated over seeing my first sight of a
bulb about to open. It did and lasted almost 7 weeks. In the meantime
another bulb was slowly emerging and I mean slowly. I clipped off the
shrinking flower. My question is that I've seen many bulbs on a plant
like this, but mine merely shows one at a time. Right now, with the
latest bulb about maturing, I don't see any signs of another coming. Am
i doing something wrong?


Are you talking about a Phalaenopsis orchid? If so, they don't have bulbs.



Come on folks, you know what the person means for Pete's sakes.

I'm not sure why you only get one flower at a time, I can't seem to get
phals to rebloom for me. I can reblooms Paphs and Dens though!
