Hi Stephie. I've had better luck with my orchids when I put them in
an east window and a plant light above them (they love it). The thing
about orchids (phals. anyway) is you can't treat them like ordinary
house plants - keeping them wet all the time or leaving the water in the
overflow dish means certain death. I don't know alot about orchids -
mostly trial and error so I should say orchids come in several different
species and each probably has it's own requirements. If you get bit by
orchid fever and want another one get one thats got good roots and maybe
leave the spike (stem). I''ve had a couple either rebloom or put on a
baby (kiekie). So good luck and come back here for a problem - there's
alot of people in here that don't just have one orchid but a greenhouse
full, so they know their stuff. Burr
