Default Re: Trying not to kill my orchid..

Quinn, phals are very fast growers. All you have to do is keep you warm and humid. phalaenopsis roots seem healthy Slivery gray with green or purple tip. It is best to use medium-coarse grade bark and perlite phals have roots and thick enough to prevent the environment breaking early.

Talking Re: Trying not to kill my orchid..

The roots have definitely grown quickly! Here's an updated picture, I haven't tried fertilizing it yet but I was going to try just putting a couple of Osmocote balls into the bark and see how it goes.



Thanks everyone for helping me out =)
