Does any one know how to care for a Phalaenopsis philippinensis orchid?
This is a species which means it has not been hybridized.



Care is same as for any other phal.



See source.
Reply:very seldom, the roots will rot if they stay too wet, you may even need to re pot it, often they are sold only to make it through the bloom. but if you care for it properly it will be a wonderful plant that will bloom annually. my advice is to get a orchid book from the library or at lowes or home depot and learn how to care for it. orchids can be a bit tricky but to me they are the most rewarding plants to care for. good luck!
