Increase water, air movement when above 85 F. Mist plants in the morning during dry weather or in dry climates. Phalaenopsis like air movement. Provide fertilizer on a regular basis. An occasional bloom booster can promote buds. It is best to fertilize at every other watering.
Good drainage is important.
Generally, phalaenopsis are grown in bark or lava rock. Root rot occurs if plants are left in soggy, deteriorated medium. You will find many differing opinions about growing phalaenopsis orchids, but these instructions have worked well for me. I hope these growing tips will assist you in growing your beautiful orchids.
