Royal Blue Hybrid Phal

[pedidiva]

I've had some that rebloom. You can wait to cut the stem or not, it's your choice. JRutter, I would advise repotting--many times the phals that I have bought are in spaghum moss that is really tight around the roots.

With the next rebloom, the white-flowered phals are truly elegant. I'm sure that you will be pleased.

There is a thread above ^ called "The phal abuse ends here"--it's very good. Also the American Orchid Societ has a nice care sheet--you can google it. I would also advise some literature to help you on your Orchid journey.

Good luck~~

No, I'm talking about receiving adequate enough care to survive to the next instance of flowering on a new spike. It seems most are thrown out as soon as they lose their blooms
