Plant Care:

Phalaenopsis Orchids originate from the tropical region of Asia and prefer warm and humid conditions. It will require weekly watering during the warm summer months. We advise taking the Orchid to the kitchen sink, watering well through the medium and then standing until completely drained. Orchids must not be left standing in water; a water logged mix will kill the roots very quickly. Monthly feeding with a proprietary liquid fertilizer at a low strength will help. Moth Orchids will bloom for many months and before all the flowers have died cut the flower stem above the bottom node and you will be rewarded with a side branch and more flowers. Once flowering is finished remove the flower spike, a new spike should appear late winter. With a little care you should be able to get many years of enjoyment from your Moth Orchid.
