My orchid bloomed again last Fall. Crazy enough, there were two different types of orchids when I thought it was only one plant.
Phalaenopsis orchid is a super popular orchid because of its big, colorful and long-lasting flowers. It is commonly called a Moth Orchid because of the large blooms that look like they could fly away.
Cymbidium orchid grows from very different greenery called a pseudobulb. This is what the mother plant is, and it just keeps on blooming.
The reason I believe I have such success with my orchids is I really neglect them. They are root bound. Their watering schedule is completely sporadic. Texas isn't that cold, but we turn the heat way down at night. The orchids live in a window garden so the light is very bright and the temperatures are kind of extreme.
