I don't think you can put a number on how many,I think the more you have
the
more you neglect some,so you tend not to over water & pamper them.like
most
you start with a phal on the window sill.Then for some reason the
windowsill
starts to shrink,so you start to think how you can keep them in a larger
area,whether it be greenhouse or house/flat.Then you can't stop thinking
about them!.Collecting them alone isn't enough for me I would love to one
day sell them as a business everyday,any of you guys out there that do got
any advise or do you make enough money for it to be the only income?

For me, new plants will get a little more attention than those that
have been around for years. For example, I recently picked up several
Sarcochilus species that were bare-root and a little stressed. They get
a once over several times per week as I look for new roots and leaves.

Some of my older plants may only get looked at every couple weeks. This
time of year I look closely at my Phals at least weekly, checking for
new spikes. I think once the collection grew to over 100 plants, the
daily fussing over each plant stopped.

PS- In 'who we are' I said I have about 300 plants....I didn't count
each plant in a compot as an individual. If I did, I guess I would have
over 400 plants total.
