Very pretty. How often do you water and fertilize?

Thank you. I bought it in spike so I can't take any credit for my regimen causing it to look so nice.

I water phals when the roots turn silver and water them by soaking them in water for 10-15 minutes. I add fertiliser to the water at most waterings. I use RO water and have just switched to Akerne' s rain mix from the Orchid Focus Grow. I used the Grow at half recommended strength. I also add Maxigrow at 1ml per litre. I'm using pure RO with no ferts at more waterings now since reading about potassium accumulation on here. I also mist exposed roots with RO water every day.
