Beautiful flowers and an awesome post! My fiance was given two Phalaenopsis Orchids for her birthday on July 24th of last year... They were already bloomed when she got them, but the bloom period didn't last very long. We were in hopes they would rebloom... but so far, nothing. Here's a photo... the rooted one is a recent picture...

As you can see in the bottom right photo... these beautiful orchids are still growing. We have tried many things; rice water, banana water, and even beet root ground up. But they won't bloom. Just curious what you have done, to get these beautiful things to look so healthy, and bloom. Also... I bet @dswigle is happy that you decided to post in her community!
Love and light, dear friend!

Lovely Phals! My friend has the top one, but the bottom one with white hues on the edges is pretty rare to find 😍
Nothing wrong with your fiancé’s orchids. The one you attached photo off looks healthy. If they bloomed last year in June, they’ll have their ‘clocks’ set for flowering again at the same time the following year. Provided you cared for them well, they should have flower spikes showing around March/April this year, ready to open around June time. They might or might not bloom though - depends what mood they’re in 😉 I have orchids that haven’t bloomed for me for 5 years or so.
I will probably make a post with my basic care routine for Phals, as they are the most commonly found orchids in shops around the world 💙
@fantagira...
Awesome of you to reply! These were bought at Walmart. So no telling what care they had, before we received them. I just know my better half loves them, and so do I! I look forward to seeing your care post... you have a perfect community (here) to post in!!!

Ehh, all Phal growers are the same. They grow them fast, with plenty of artificial light, spikes staked up to save space and they force them to bloom all year round for selling purposes. Natural time for Phals to bloom is around winter time. When temperatures drop in Autumn, that’s their ‘signal’ to start growing spikes. The other parts (roots and leaves) are on hold, until the flower spike is formed.
There is an abundance of communities to post in. HiveGarden, amazing Nature, Orchid Lovers too. I try to split my post somewhat evenly between them and now I have an extra one to post in 😍💙
@fantagira...
Oh! Of course! I didn't mean to seem like I expected you to post here, just because @dswigle is another dear friend and soul lolol... Again... I look forward to seeing your post. We are unsure of what to do from here. I do however talk to them. As does my better half We both do that...
Oh no, you didn’t Wes, not to worry! You’re just being helpful, as always 😘
Haha, keep talking, they love the attention 💙
@fantagira...
I think many forget that plants, are more than just food to eat, flowers to smell, and trees to climb. They are living things...
I always reference dear @dreemsteem and the following post. It's past payout. But have a peek!
