indigi posted:the fungified mini Phal I rescued from Target is a loving beast. it kept all of its blooms for six weeks after losing a leaf and a half to fungus excision, still has two of its flowers left, and is putting out strong new roots as well as two new leaves; one started two weeks ago, the other just today as the first is still growing. I didn’t know phalanopsis did that. I didn’t even know they put out new roots or growth while flowering Those grocery/hardware store store phals are something else. I got one for free from home depot that looked absolutely awful and dropped a leaf when I repotted it. Now it routinely puts out 2 spikes with over 20 flowers each 2 times a year with no special treatment. I guess the insane amount of hybridization the growers do with these really pays off. If you have a bit of patience you can get a really nice plant out of these. Also, in my experience if a phal is really growing well you can get leaf growth during flowering, but it's definitely slower than leaf growth in the peak summer season
