Mine just keeps growing more pseudobulbs!!! I can’t get it to flower! How long have you had this beauty? What direction facing window is it in? What’s your secret?!?!

#### Becca replied on 2024-03-30

secret is that it’s in my bathroom with south facing windows and a mirror. so lots of bright indirect light. I also water it once a week by letting it sit in water for about 5 to 10 minutes

#### Jen replied on 2024-03-30

Watering is definitely not my issue- it’s grown about 20 new pseudobulbs. I have a feeling it’s a light problem. I envy your southern exposure.

Wow!

### Central Florida noob commented on 2024-05-02

I just got one of these. Please share your care routine.

#### Becca replied on 2024-05-03

water once a week by placing in a bowl of water and very bright indirect light.

I recently snagged one at an Orchid show. A few of the flowers dried up and fell off, hoping I am not doing something wrong! I’ve had Phals in the past and am just starting to branch out to other orchids 😀
