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 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 degree E 
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.
