Phalaenopsis Hybrid Care in Reno: Watering, Fertilizing, and Bloom Longevity

Your Plant: Phalaenopsis Hybrid

"King Shiangs Rose × Dtps. Taisuco Firebird" = Phalaenopsis (Dtps = Doritaenopsis, now merged). Standard Phal care applies.

Sink soak 30-40 min when medium barely moist → drain completely → return to humidity tray. Do not water on schedule—water by medium dryness.

Balanced orchid fertilizer at ¼ label strength. Phals are light feeders.

Phalaenopsis flowers last 2+ months. One fallen flower = normal progression, not a problem.

Reno memories—left money there 15+ years ago. Hope it collected interest! (LOL)
