Can anyone tell me what type of orchid I have?
That is a Phaelonopsis. It's called Phal. Sogo Yukidan. I worked for an new orchid grower and spent 7 months trying to ID their non labeled orchids.



Horticulture student.
Reply:it's Phalaenopsis amabilis

simple tips:

phals can't stand heat, don't put them in direct sunlight. otherwise, the leaves will be burnt instantly.
Reply:Looks like a Phalaenopsis to me but I'm no botanist.
Reply:Well the genus is Phalaenopsis, but it is one of a kajillion different hybrids that produce white, large, flat blooms. These are commonly sold in nurseries, department stores, florists, even groceries. They are relatively easy to keep, moderate light, distilled water and good drainage in its current potting mix (don't overwater), and soluble orchid fertilizer once the blooms drop off. Good luck.
