Phalaenopsis Orchid care 

Spray with water every 3 to 6 days . especially during the growing season or summer . and add some of our own tropical plant dew . which includes fertiliser . ideally mixed for orchids. 

Where should I put my Phalaenopsis Orchid?

Your Orchid needs to be in a bright spot with lots of natural light so that the flowers can keep opening - for the flowers to have the best colour . the plant must be in a bright spot but out of direct sunlight.

Orchids don't do well in strong direct light; they may burn the leaves . particularly during the summer.

Normal room temperature is perfect for orchids; this plant will grow and thrive in the right conditions. Once flowers have dropped off . you can cut out the flower spike. 

When the plant is not blooming . it invests its energy in forming leaves and roots . preparing for the next bloom.

How should I water my orchid?

Phalaenopsis orchids must be watered twice a week during warm weather . and the water needs to be at room temperature . 20-24 degrees Celsius.   

The best way to water Orchids is to either submerge the orchid in water until the roots are submerged overnight; they will then absorb the water.  It will store water in its roots to keep it going until the next watering.

You can also mist. Rainwater works best . but tap water left to stand for a day and warm-up can also be used. 

How should I feed my Phalaenopsis Orchid?

Phalaenopsis do not need as much fertilizer as conventional plants . so we recommend fertilizing every two to three weeks in spring and summer and once a month in autumn and winter.

Orchids are provided in a plastic pot.
