Phalaenopsis Orchid (Moth Orchid) 🌸✨

The Phalaenopsis Orchid is the definition of effortless elegance, long arching stems, glossy leaves, and blooms that last for weeks (sometimes months). Native to Southeast Asian rainforests, this orchid thrives in warm, bright homes and brings a soft, luxurious feel to any space.

It’s a classic for gifting, but equally perfect for adding a touch of calm beauty to your own bedside table, bathroom shelf, or office desk.

Plant Care

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Check the orchid bark and roots before watering. Water thoroughly when the bark is approaching dryness and roots appear silvery, then drain fully. Avoid leaving water in the crown or standing in water.
Temperature: Prefers 18–26°C. Keep away from cold draughts or radiators.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity, mist lightly or place near other plants.
Feed: Use a specialist orchid feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth.

Good to Know

Blooming: Blooms can last 8–12 weeks and return once or twice a year with proper care.
Also Known As: Moth Orchid, Phal Orchid.
Origin: Tropical forests of Southeast Asia and northern Australia.

Good To Know

Bright, Indirect Light

Loves being in the spotlight. Thrives on attention. Just not direct sunlight, that’s where it draws the line. We’re glowing, not grilling.

Not for Pets or Kids

Beautiful but with a dark side. The leaves and/or other parts of this plant can be toxic. Keep away from pets, children and adults who never grew up.

How not to kill your Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Indirect

Choose a bright position with filtered or indirect light. Protect from harsh direct summer sun. Only use lower light where the individual plant’s care profile says it is tolerated.

Humidity: Normal

Atmospherics? I'm really not that bothered, actually. Just your everyday household humidity is fine. No extra attention required, thanks, so don't be comin' at me with that spritzer!

Watering: Moderate

Check the compost before watering. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Adjust to the plant, pot, light and season.

Top tips from our Agony Plant.

Memento Top Tip

Take it out of its decorative pot to water. Let it drain fully before putting it back; roots should not be left standing in water.
