Phalaenopsis Not Blooming for Years: Light Deficiency Confirmed

Gil's two Phalaenopsis hadn't bloomed in 2–4 years despite green leaves and repotting. Expert: dark green leaves = insufficient light for blooming (light green needed). North window with canopy blocks light. Roots firm = alive (dark ≠ dead). No more repotting—let roots establish. Move to east window if possible. Monitor winter windowsill temps. After light improves, allow 1–2 months for hormonal changes to trigger spikes.
