Phalaenopsis 'Moth Orchid'
£24.95
Tax included.
The Phalaenopsis, or Moth Orchid, is an elegant, highly sought after epiphyte celebrated for its long lasting, arching sprays of flat blooms. These orchids are paired with a self-watering decorative pot. This system utilises capillary action to draw moisture up into the root zone as needed, taking the guesswork out of orchid care and preventing the common issue of root rot.
Care Guide:
| Perfect for | Bright, indirect windowsills, warm living spaces, and office desks |
| Light required | Requires bright, indirect light to trigger blooming and maintain healthy green leaves. Direct midday sun will rapidly scorch the foliage. |
| Water | The included self-watering pot manages moisture delivery. Simply keep the reservoir topped up according to the pot's indicator, ensuring the main root ball never sits directly in standing water. |
| Humidity | Thrives in elevated humidity but adapts remarkably well to average central heating. Avoid placing it directly next to radiators or drafty windows. |
| Toxicity | Non-toxic to humans and pets. |
| Origin | Tropical Southeast Asia and parts of Australia |
| Growth rate | Slow-growing. The floral display can last for up to three months. Once the flowers drop, cut the spike back to a healthy node to encourage a secondary flush of blooms. |
| Pot size tip | Includes decorative pot |
