Know before you buy
This orchid prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in deep shade, which will prevent the plant from blooming again.
No, the Phalaenopsis orchid is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
Yes, your orchid will arrive with a single spike of light pink blossoms, making it ready to display as soon as you unbox it.
As an epiphyte, this plant naturally grows on trees rather than in soil. In your home, it should be kept in a well-draining orchid mix or bark medium to ensure its roots receive the necessary airflow.
Watering frequency depends on your home's humidity and temperature, but generally, you should water when the potting medium feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
