Hello group, I am new to growing orchids and am pleased to have found
somewhere to discuss them. I bought a Phalaenopsis from a garden centre
a year ago. At the time it had approx fifteen lovely white flowers on
it. When they died I cut between the last node and first flower scar.
Since then the Phalaenopsis has produced several new leaves and two new
branches. It has produced approximatly four buds at different times
which have all turned brown and dropped without flowering. There are
now two new buds which are a lighter olive green colour. I am afraid
that these will do the same. Presently I water it approximatly every
ten days in the bathroom and keep a bottle which slowly releases
diluted orchid fertiliser in the pot. The phal lives in our living room
which faces south west. I have put it on a tray of pebbles which I try
to keep moist and mist the leaves occasionaly. It sits on top of the
tv.

I would really appreciate any advice.

Cat.
