Ok, here's the pictures of the plant I bought last weekend. Is this Phalaenopsis? It came in a very small cheap flimsy plastic pot with sphagnum moss.
I took it out and attached it to this piece of wood. Stuff just a little sphagnum moss around the roots. However, in the process I broke some roots. Hope this is not harmful to the plant. ![]() ![]()

BTW, David, it is a common saying that there is an orchid for everyone. Just depends on what you like. to distinguish between the commonly available genera, try googling 'dendrobium, phalaenopsis, cattleya, oncidium'. all these are easy to care for and reward you with bright colourful blooms that last up to 2 months. Just pot in charcoal and care as for Nep. Miranda or ventrata. if you are looking for something more exotic, (easy to care for but with interesting shorter-lived flowers), try catasetum, bulbophyllum, or cycnoches. ![]() |

Nice Dendrobiums David! There are some miniature varieties which you can try finding at some of the stalls down at sg buloh nurseries (if lack of growing space is concerned).
