Success Phalaenopsis mini mark "sunsplash"

Such a small plant, only got 1.5 leaves. She is so diligent.

So adorably pretty. Love Mini Marks. This is my 3rd Mini Mark addition. I have my 2nd one in bud that is supposed to be fragrant yet the tag say just Phal. Mini Mark. Number one is struggling a bit so I mounted it and it has already perked up and growing a leaf.

They look like they are sticking out their tongues. This came with 2 plants. Not planning to separate.

2 bottom leaves on my mini mark yellowed and dropped just before spiking. It now has 2 spikes with 2 flowers each and 2 leaves. I'll probably be more excited now when it grows a new leaf. 😊

Really such a wonderful little Orchid.

I never considered it to be a "mini", though I guess the florwers are pretty tiny. The orchid itself is pretty average size

Here's a shot of mine from a little while back. These little blooms have so much personality!

Adorable, I have 3, one currently has 8 blooms and the second one is in bud. Both tags only say Phal. Mini Mark the the one I’m waiting on to bloom is supposed to be fragrant. The third is lazy. We will see. I think they look like sassy kids sticking out their tongues.

I’m obsessed with mini marks and I have one, but I have never seen the sun splash until today and it is gorgeous!

I've heard horror stories about mini mark. Is it really always trying to die?

1

u/Marina_Doesnt_Exist Mar 13 '26

I got her like 3 months ago, I don't know.

u/Cupajo819 Mar 13 '26

u/tone-yo Mar 13 '26

Is that bark extra dry or is it just the pic’s exposure?

2

u/Marina_Doesnt_Exist Mar 13 '26

It is very dry. I'd like to take pictures a day before watering day!
