Available in Pink or White

The Phalaenopsis or ‘Moth Orchid’ is the most common orchid due to its ease of production and the availability of blooming plants year-round. Phals are easily grown in the home and stay in bloom for a very long time. A mature phal will be in bloom much of the year with graceful inflorescences loaded with good-sized blooms. Unlike many other orchids, Phalaenopsis can be repotted anytime, though it is usually best to do so when not in bloom.

Description

Light: Bright window, with little or no sun.

Temperature: Above 15°C at night, and range between 24°C and 30°C or more during the day. Although higher temperatures force faster vegetative growth, higher humidity and air movement must accompany higher temperatures, the recommended maximum being 32 to 35°C. Night temperatures to 13°C are desirable for several weeks in the autumn to initiate flower spikes. Fluctuating temperatures can cause bud drop on plants with buds ready to open.

Water: Soil must never completely dry out. Plants should be thoroughly watered and not watered again until nearly dry. Water only in the morning, so that the leaves dry by nightfall, to prevent rot.

Humidity: between 50% and 80%

Fertilizer: Fertilize on a regular schedule, especially if the weather is warm, when the plants are most often growing. Apply fertilizer at one-quarter strength with every watering; this is best for warm, humid conditions.
