Kinda hoping this'll get turned into a sticky.
Anyway, lately, I've been seeing a lot of threads about phals from hardware/grocery stores that aren't doing well, and how so many people are having problems with them. So, I decided to start a FAQ thread exclusively for phals, given that they're one of the most popular and readily available plants among new hobbyists (if appropriate, this thread may be moved to the Phalaenopsis sub-forum, but I thought I'd post it here because this is one of the first places newbies come).
The idea here is to have experts not only help the newbies, but also debunk the myths and mysteries of this genus. So, if you're anyone (whether a newbie or a seasoned orchid expert) who's having problems with your Phalaenopsis, post them here. Likewise, if you're experienced with the genus, I encourage you to share your wisdom on this thread. Orchid growers are a family, after all, and it's only fair that we help each other out.
If you are a biginner and still need help after reading the first few pages of this thread then please start a new thread to ask your questions here Beginner Discussion
The Phal abuse ends here.
