So, I've recently decided to try my hand at orchids. So far I'm doing alright. I have two phals that I got at lowe's from the clearance rack. The leaves are a bit dark on one so I'm wondering if my lighting will be adequate to bring it back to excellent health. I've read a few care guides online (one of which said that if the light is bright enough to easily read a book, you're fine), but I was wanting to know some personal opinions.
Also, would now be a good time to begin fertilizing? And does anyone have any recommendations on which fertilizer to use, there are plenty of options out there and I feel a bit overwhelmed, none of the fertilizers I've found locally have really instilled me with any confidence.
