After lot of posts on Carnivorous topics I bought one Phal. :) And here are some photos...
I'm keeping it on east facing window, 4h of direct but early sunlight... Watering it with sinking method and spraying leaves... Hope that is good for now... :)

They do look great. What's the sinking method? I'm not too familiar with orchids.

I translated it that way, don't know how it is really said in English :) You take the pot and put it in rainwater or distillated water about 10 minutes and after just let water to drain...
Nor am I familiar, but in lack od VFTs in store I decided to take some practicing with orchids.

That is a beautiful phalaenopsis in an unusual color. (breeders have been trying to get good yellows for quite a few years) Really nice. Thanks for sharing the photos! :)

It costs only 7,4 euros, many said that is very cheap for orchid...
