My Second Orchid Question
 

Hello Everyone,
I just brought my second orchid, it's called
Phalaenopsis amabilis (rimestadiana x grandiflora)
It's near blooming size, I was wondering, are the standards of care
same for mature orchids as they are for near blooming sizes?
I was also wondering if anyone knew if this particular one was easy to
care for
Thanks
Sandra

Hello Sandra!

Seem you have a nice species there!
Phal amabilis var. rimestadadiana or var grandiflora are synonyms... at
least I think!

Near blooming size Phals should be treated pretty much the same as mature
Phals. Phal. amabilis is a nice species.

Hi, Sandra,

If you can grow Phals in the first place, you should have no problem with
amabilis, IMO. Ours is treated exactly like our other Phals, and is a very
rewarding plant.
