New to Orchids

15 years ago

One of the ladies that I work for asked me to throw out 2 of her orchids and so I thought I would take them home and give them a try... I mostly grow hoyas and african violets so this is totally new to me.... I have no idea what they are... but I thought I would ask the experts here on the orchid forum - what I should do with these... they both have long sticks where the flowers once were... do I cut them off? Repot these orchids... I didnt think they were that bad to throw out so I thought I would try and grow them and see what happens... any advice on what to do with these... here are a few photos of the orchids

    They are Phalaenopsis orchids. Just give them your African Violet conditions and see how they go. Cut off the spent flowering stems because even they throw off a new flowering growth it will never equal the display that you get from a new flowering stem growing from the base of the plant,

    Find some complete Phalaenopsis notes on the net that relate to your climate zone to get detailed cultivation hints.
