    Smile Phalaenopsis micholitzii

    Quite sometimes I haven't post phalaenopsis species. Here I got 8 mature plants bought early last year, seedling from the same flasks.This time 4 of them rewarding me with pure white green with nice fragrance.I like the variations among them.Unfortunately I cannot focus some of the flowers due to short flower stalk and crowded leaves.

    What conditions do you create to get the spike to come out of its "dormant stage" ? Just curious ...

    Period of dry spell ( from nature) and frequent fertilizer with NPK ratio 67 will come out positive effect ( base on my observation for the past one year may be not enough). Original source of this species is from Philippine. Probably Ron or Nelson has better info. Zain.

    Fair enough, I know you are Paph guy but now I am trying to collect some species of paph learn more detail about how to encourage blooming for this species.
