Enjoyed the English! Yes it looks a happy orchid, so Beautiful! I like the way you filmed it. I hope my Bellina spikes soon for this season , my anticipation level is high 😃. These Phals are new to me so I don't know yet growing patterns, spike speed ;) etc. Luckily I'm in southern California, should be nice extended summer for them, often our " Autumn " is quite warm, so.....? Right now, all of them (21 now) doing great. Drinking lots water! How I love these species Phals. 🤗🌱💚
Thanks! For this orchid, it is summer blooming. In the fall, it will start to grow leaf and root more. Southern Calif is great for orchids! Glad that you enjoyed my video. : )
Hi there! love your video. I bought a ballina in July and shes just a baby. I was wondering do you fertiize in the fall and winter months? I in Ontario Canada and my orchid is under lights
Hi, Ann. The best medium depends on your environment. If your environment is very dry and you can't keep up with watering, moss will be a better choice. If you can afford to have a green house and have time to water multiple times a week (assuming ventilation is good), you can do full bark. So mixture of bark and moss is for conditions in between.
My Bellina is in full bloom but I noticed a sticky, clear or transparent drainage on the stem near the flower. I gather it is not normal,, what does it mean? What to do about it!

Just moss or mix with bark?

Hi! I guess it could be the happy sap... I usually leave it be buy some people wipe it off with a wet napkin or paper towel.
