Orchids

Unfortunately overwatering is one of the worst things that can happen to a Phalaenopsis. However, your friend can rest assured that overwatering it is a very common occurrence, and unfortunately many people do it unawares. 

It’s best to work through a checklist to ensure you have the basics right. It may be that your orchids are still too young to produce masses of flowers. As most orchids age they become far more productive in terms of flowering.
