Welcome to Orchid Board! That first phal is beautiful. I can't help you with your new plant but I'm sure someone here has experience with it.

Your plants look great!

I've just seen a couple posts, I think, of members' anosmums blooming - I'm sure they could tell you how they grow them.

Welcome to Orchid Board, I hope you enjoy the board, I'm sure you will

Your phals are really pretty. I'm afraid I don't know anything about the Den either. It might be best to start another post in the dendrobium section as more of the right people may see it again.

Welcome to Orchidboard!
Great looking Phals, they're stunning! Sorry I can't help you with the Den either, I don't grow those types of orchids.

welcome!

My dendrobium book says:

"The long, pendulous stems make this species unsuited to a pot. It can be tied to a slab or grown in a hanging basket. The plants must be given a dry rest during the colder weather if they are to flower well. During the growing season it should be watered copiously. It does best in strong to filtered light, good air movement and humid conditions. The aerial growths on the stem can be used to produce new plants."
Laverack et. al. Dendrobium and its relatives. p. 142.
