I have an orchid hybrid known as Phal. Gojanat, how do I care for it??

Question:The plant is a large leaf orchid bought at my local Kroger's Food Market. I know it likes to be dry and have filtered sunlight, but other than that I am lost. I love gardening; I just want this plant to be happy. I tried looking online, but there was no info on this particular hybrid...NONE! I wish I knew the parentage. I hope someone out there can help...

Answers:
All Phalaenopsis orchids like pretty much the same conditions. Water them once or twice a week. To figure out how often your orchid likes to be watered, you can press a finger into the potting medium and see if it is dry. If it is not, don't water. Keep Phalaenopsis out of direct sunlight. The leaves will burn. I keep mine 10 feet away from a north eastern window...VERY low light. They love it. You can tell if your phal. is getting too much light if the leaves take on a reddish hue. The ideal color is a light to medium green. Phals. prefer humid conditions, so they appreciate being spritzed with water every so often. Humidity trays are great, too, but you don't have to jump up and go buy one. One other thing Phals love is air movement. A small fan or an open window with a light breeze will keep your orchid happy. The light and water are most important for your orchid to live, but if you want it to thrive you should consider the humidity and air movement as well.

Oh, and I did find info on your particular hybrid, as well.
