NoID soft-caned Den, how should I approach the culture

How should I grow this. I bought it at Trader Joe's today.

I know they can vary greatly, but I assume there's probably some general guidelines, and maybe once some of the buds open, it could...

Square baskets? Uh oh, you're definitely going to have to find some of the square media for the square containers. It can be hard to find, sometimes people end up having to make their own. Good...

I'm not an expert, but my guess is that you'll be fine if it was just 24 hours. THere are folks that soak various orchids for a while (maybe not quite 24 hours). Also, they could get a torrential...

If I was able, I would like to have all of mine mounted. I don't think I could really get away with that where I grow, so mine are mostly in a semi-hydro setup.

I'd say that most of the time a branching spike is probably indicative of a healthier plant than a single spike, but I could be wrong.

My vote is let it be. If it has decided this is time, let it do it's thing, and don't try to change it's mind. You'll probably just confuse it and invite disaster. Just don't water it. Go check...

My understanding of Cats are that you shouldn't begin watering until they have a few inches of root growth. I think a lot of folks just stick them in a shoe box or something for the winter. I think...

Many folks say to underpot Phals for some reason.

I've repotted a couple of new phals that were in bloom. Neither dropped their blooms and both continued to bloom for several months.

I've noticed the same thing. I think it's built into the plants to always save the next to the last bud. I had one that I got with about 8-10 blooms and that one next to the last bud. Shortly...

It was a couple of days later, so this is only about half of what they'd originally had (and the least impressive half). That top left psuedobulb is the size of my fist and I'm 6'1!.

Interesting. Learn something new every day. Read up on them. This is true by strict definition, but it seems like common usage is turning "mushroom" into "kleenex".

Don't despair. Phals can come back from the dead (at least it would seem so). Keep them in a humid environment and they will probably eventually start to grow new roots. Once that happens, the...

Are you talking about the light brown spots that are all over the place? To me that just looks like where the roots have been touching the leca. Could that just be dust/color transfer from the leca...

I'm scared, things are going too well

It's either fungus like Bud said, or I've also seen the same thing turn out to be alien pods that copy your friends and family in a bid to take over the planet.

Good luck.
