Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid (Phalaenopsis)
$38.00
Months of bloom, minutes of work. The Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid arches sprays of violet moth shaped flowers that hold their color for two to three months at a stretch.
Phalaenopsis is the orchid that broke the difficult stereotype: a weekly drink, decent light, and it simply keeps performing.
Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid care
- Light: Bright indirect, an east window is textbook.
- Water: Weekly, letting the bark dry between, never leaving standing water.
- After bloom: Trim the spent spike above a node for a possible encore.
- Pets: Orchid safe: non toxic to cats and dogs.
- Growth: New leaves in summer, spikes in the cool months.
How do I get my orchid to rebloom?
Give it a few weeks of cooler nights, around ten degrees below daytime, plus steady light. That temperature dip is the signal Phalaenopsis waits for, and a new spike usually follows within a couple of months.
