Any orchid growers in the house?

[Singing Otter]

I just picked up a phalaenopsis orchid. It's blooming ( 4 flowers and three buds) and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips?

They're very temperamental and I sooo don't want to kill it lol. It's about two feet and it has 7 leaves. It looks pretty healthy. The roots look good but there's one that's mushy looking. I don't want to mess with it too much but I'm wondering if I should replant? It's in a clear pot and the moss mix is wet to the touch but not sopping.

It looks like this only prettier lol.

sorry i never tried growing these either. but i used to take care of my neighbors violets when she went on trips.

i agree, these sure look pretty! did they come with any directions?

I can barely keep the peace flag plant I got alive.. normally if it ain't corn or wild, I don't bother.

Orchids are typically grown in humid/tropical weather,if your going to re-pot it use moss and or orchid chips/bark with some perlite soak the moss then first if your using moss. Make sure the roots have room to grow they like their space & lots of flowing air. They love sun light, but not Direct sun but lots of Light. water once every 7-10 days & feed it every month. don't let the roots get soggy, they will rot I don't like using the plastic pots, the wooden ones with slots are better you can mist the leaves & petals. If the leaves are getting wrinkly it means their not getting enough water & if you start seeing dark spots that means too much heat from the sun. they are actually easy to grow once you figure out what your Orchid likes. I hope this helps.
