COAXING A PHAL INTO BLOOMING

[Rainshadow]

I used to flower other orchids but could not get the Phals to bloom except under lights. I moved and they are getting a little more light and a better drop in night temps and ones I've had have flowered every year.

You have to be a careful not to blanch them with too much light but what I read said they should get enough so the leaf color is a little closer to grass green rather than moss green. My sister has one that flowers with less light but gets a good drop in temperature.

Best wishes, Rainshadow
