Losing flowers prematurely happens when conditions change abruptly. Doesn't hurt the plant. (Flowers will fade eventually anyway, it's not a sign of distress just force of nature) Sun damage won't...

The goal with a Phal is "humid air" rather than 'constant wet' in the root zone. So they don't want to dry out completely, but don't want to stay soggy either. Either medium will work fine -...

If you have a chance to actually see one of these, look toward the base of the flower spike, and you can find the injection site. The dye is injected into the spike, so it doesn't get into the plant....

That's why I am now gravitating toward miniatures. Out of room, but there's always space for the little ones that stay little. Always room for one more orchid...:rofl:

When I have a plant outgrow the mount, I either mount it on a larger mount, or drop the mounted plant into a basket, mount and all. Just go with the flow. (C. intermedia doesn't get all that big,...

It sounds like a happy plant! Being a seedling, the wet-dry cycle needs to be gentler than it would be for a mature plant. But Cattleyas in general do want some drying, more than most other groups....

Don't overthink this... yes, a microdose with each watering can be helpful - but not really necessary. Also, it really doesn't want to stay constantly wet - even once a day would be fine, and less...

Yes, if the plant has been there for awhile, leave it alone, it may be starting to established. If it was just mounted in the last few days, you still have the option of re-orienting. More than...

Well done.
