I love orchids also Chris. When I had the art gallery, I had customers who brought me orchids for my desk. I think they liked them as much as I did. They didn't survive as well as yours because I think folks couldn't resist touching them. Also, my Cavalier Kala always sat on her desk pillow next to them. Great memories.

The other day, Jay bought a new orchid for the living room. It is beautiful. He just puts 3 1/2 ice cubes on it every Wednesday. Since we both have memory issues, we put it on the calendar. It is in dirt.....is that O.K.?

Many of these “ice orchids “ are around. It will do for a while but it would love some bark and a slightly bigger pot. That is a beautiful Phaleonopsis. When the flowers drop off, lol, in about 3 months, I would get a slightly bigger pot with drainage holes and mix 1/2 bark, and 1/2 the dirt in the pot, replace the moss that is probably on top of your dirt. This will help with moisture. I would not trim the spike unless it truly dies, sometimes they will bloom again on that same spike. I water mine when the mood strikes me. The mounted ones get sprayed daily. I absolutely love plants that thrive on nothing. In the winter the humidity is high enough I can leave them for a few days without spraying. I also love flowers that last forever.
