Phalaenopsis Tips
Phalaenopsis do not grow overly large, because leaves are shed from the base at about the same rate as new ones are developed. Their roots are exceptionally good-looking, often appearing above the pot and remaining airborne.
These are flattened and silvery white, with clearly visible, green-growing tips. They have a tendency to adhere to any surface with which they come into contact. In a greenhouse, they often attach themselves to the bench upon which they are growing.
Roots that have meandered over the rim of the pot are impossible to get back without snapping. Allow them to wander at will, and, when repotting, leave any live aerial roots outside the pot. Any that have died and are shriveled can be cut off.
In addition to the long large flowered kinds, there are other hybrids raised from brown colored species which given rise to a further species of the alliance. Many delightful minature varieties are now available, with a range that extends from white.
Phalaenopsis can bloom at a time, and it is not unusual for them to bloom two or three times in away and to remain in bloom for mare - It is important, however, that they continues to make new leaves at time as flowering. If too many leaves shed, you should cut off any spikes and allow the plant to grow at until it has three or four leaves allowing it to produce flowers.
The plants are mostly extremely attractive, their broad, fleshy leaves often marbled with light and dark green mottling. They are monopodial in their growth, each new leaf extending from a centre, with the flower spikes coming from the base of the lower leaves. - 2368
