Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid)

Phalaenopsis are a popular, stylish, and easy to care for houseplant. They produce unusual and long-lasting flowers in abundance, alongside evergreen foliage. Orchids are epiphytic plants, meaning that in the wild they grow on the surface of another plant, rather than in the ground. In the home, they prefer to be grown in loose, airy bark chippings, in a clear plastic pot. When flowering has finished, repot your plant, or bring it in to us and we can re-pot it for you (charges apply)

• Bright but indirect sunlight. Keep above 14^oC and away from draughts/heaters
• Water weekly when growing and/or flowering. Reduce watering in winter. Preferably use rain water, and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering.
• Feed regularly during the flowering season with a specific orchid food. Reduce or refrain from feeding when not flowering or growing to allow the plant to rest.
