    I forgot to mention that it is growing intermediate to cool-intermediate and gets a winter rest.

    Starting in November-December I give it an occasional misting. In February that starts getting increased to misting every couple of days and then in March I start watering occasionally which is gradually increased to daily watering in mid April. It may be that year round watering would work for me if I grew in warmer temperatures but I had killed several over the years before I started drying them off.

    I don't grow mine cool at all and it's blooming extremely well and for over a month.
    I grow mine warm/interm., water all year and no fertilizer until late March-early April.
    Minimum low temps. 60F-65F and lots of air movement. All my Phals. are mounted on
    cork on a hanging rack. Seems to be a very tolerant species to me.
