Phalaenopsis gigantea

These are flowering twice a year because they are larger plants.

I always enjoy your posts about your giganteas. You are the Phal. gigantea master! Gorgeous plants!

Thank you all.
Dot - These are two plants. I have couple more in buds. When weather is cooler I can keep the shade cloth inside open. My orchids are get more light now compared to summer.

bigleaf, how warm do you keep your giganteas? I can't manage warmer temperatures than 20/21C / 68-70f during the day and 18C / 64f during the night this time of year. Do you think this may be too cold and could have contributed to my gigantea letting its flower spike dry up?

I'm blessed with a greenhouse and here in South (Texas) we get plenty of sunlight. Greenhouse is kept 65F night and 78F day this time of the year. Humidity is 70 (day) to 100 (Night). You may need to look at your humidity at night Ideally I like to keep these at minimum of 70F at night but that would be too costly on heating. With low humidity and cooler temperature. Make sure media isn't wet otherwise you could have a cooling effect Hearing mat is good for growing indoor in the winter. Keep the root system warm.

Still two plants? I didn't realize the patterns could be so similar.
