I have found Phalaenopsis orchids one of the easiest to grow and a good starting place for beginners to this hobby. It's a species that easily adapts to the home and office environment. It's also a beauty because it blooms for a generous period giving you lots of time to admire your success and show it off to your mates!

The 1st step is to isolate your infected plant from others as this is a fungal disease and spreads easily.
The next step is to treat your infected orchid plant with a fungicide solution. Be careful to follow the directions on the pack accurately.
An easy way to help prevent crown rot is to make sure that you never water into the center of the plant. Instead, water the potting bark near the rim of the pot and water in the morning so the crown area of the orchid will dry out during the day.
Once you know the tips and tricks, growing orchids is easy!
