Phalaenopsis bellina fma. coerulea

Very excited to get my first bellina to bloom! This is NF262 'Blue Lagoon' x 'Blue Bird'. I really like it but I'm a bit worried because there's only three leaves on this plant and it has a tendency to get bacterial rot on the tips of its leaves. I've moved it to an area with more air circulation to hopefully prevent any future damage to the leaves. When this plant gets bigger, the petals should fatten up more so I'm looking forward to the next bloom season. This is a surprisingly nice sized flower with 5.9 cm NS and 5 cm VNS.
