Best medium and setup??
I rescued this gorgeous little lady—a Miniature Phalaenopsis—from Sprouts Farmers Market for $3 this morning! 😱😱 I think she'll be happy in this location, but I highly doubt she'll be thrilled if she stays in her pot, and I think she's just in regular soil. I wish there were a way to put her in with Athena and train her to climb Athena's stalks 😂😂

this orchid looks so beautiful! it’s only $3.. i might have to go to the store because those are CHEAP!
okay so, back to your plant.. it’s basically like standard orchids! keep it in a bright, indirect light and keep water in it when it’s completely dry! with this kind of pot, they dry out faster.. so maybe you should get a bigger pot.. also, after you get the initial bloom cycle, being repotted can help to prevent root rot! hope this helps 🤞🏻

@SpyderLily love it!! The shell is super cute! I can’t keep orchids blooming so I’ll leave that to the experts!!
@IWantThatPlant I've never been able to get them to bloom again, either, so I usually avoid them entirely, even though they're my second favourite flower (after lilies, especially spider lilies, hence the username 😂). But $3 was a little hard to pass up LOL
@uhhh.haileyyy It's from JustAddIce Orchids, says to water weekly with one ice cube or 1.5 tbsp water. One ice cube seemed like a lot for such a small plant so I did my own little test to see just how much one of my ice cubes is. Sure enough, exactly 1.5 tbsp 🤷🏻♀️😂 But I've also read that you should NOT use ice on the miniatures, so idk what to think at this point 😩
