PHALAENOPSIS 
Among the most beautiful of all the spray orchids. 
They prefer about 50% shade, and should never be 
allowed to go completely dry. They grow well either 
in pots or baskets, potted soft with osmunda or Ha- 
waiian tree fern. They are heavy feeders and should 
be fertilized regularly with nutrient solution. They 
seem to respond exceptionally well to the organic fish 
emulsion type of fertilizer. Temperatures should be 
even, not less than 60 degrees F. minimum, with 70% 
humidity. If the above conditions can be supplied, they 
are among the easiest of all orchids to grow. They 
reach maturity from seedlings very rapidly.
