Mine is currently in bloom and I can't decide if I should wait or go ahead and start acclimating. My days are reaching around seventy now and nights don't go below the mid forties for too terribly long. Air movement and sunlight are great!

It looked pretty rough there last year. I seem to have made it happier by mounting it on driftwood. The pictures only show 3 of the 6 buds it has so far this year.

I went to visit a friends greenhouse and saw this. I fell in love with the pseudobulbs. He said he would gladly give me a division since so few people grow the BIG orchids anymore. The division he gave me was 5 PBs. It's since grown 2 more and now spiking.

I'm new to the forums and orchids in general! My husband and I picked up a Phal (thank goodness for abbreviations) last month on Valentines. It had two blooms at the time and signs of an up and coming bloom. A month later and it is now sporting 8 blooms with no signs of stopping! Good news in a way except that the pot it came in can no longer support the plant's top heavy weight.

I've read quite a bit about orchids over the past month and this morning I found this website! I understand the methods of re-potting my plant. However, my plant is in full bloom (the worst time to re-pot). But, I fear that a plant that constantly falls over won't stay healthy for long.

Should I re-plant so it can continue to grow in size or leave it be? If the blooming season is several months... is re-potting my only option for keeping her upright?

Sorry for being so wordy, I don't want to endanger my beautiful plant but I'm tired of picking her up off of the floor =( I'd appreciate any advice on what to do!

Thank you!!
