Some of Our Phalaenopsis Are In Bloom

We grow these under florescent lights on shelves in the  basement. Phalaenopsos are very easy to grow and require very little maintenance. We water them once a week. Every 4-6 weeks we add a very small amount of fertilizer to the water. They grow in plastic orchid pots filled with Douglas fir bark chunks.
