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.

How not to kill your Phalaenopsis Orchid

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

Surviving

Light: Indirect

I'm pretty flexible, actually. Generally I'd rather be in a bright spot, with plenty of indirect light. But if all you've got is a moderately shady corner, that's no biggie I'll happily adapt with perhaps a bit less watering. Just keep me out of any harsh, direct sun and we'll get on just fine.

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: Regular

I'm a Thirsty Kirsty! I could drink most other plants under the table and still throw shapes on the dancefloor. Don't let me dry out or there'll be trouble, but remember, the art of drinking is slow & steady. Too much, too quick isn't good for any of us. Keep my soil moist but not soggy.

Thriving

Let the roots breathe — orchids prefer airy pots and loose bark, not dense soil. Water in the morning so the plant dries by night, and trim spent flower spikes just above a node to encourage new blooms.

Memento Top Tip

When the blooms fade, don’t bin it — give it patience, steady light, and a weekly mist. Orchids are slow burners, but when they flower again, it’s pure magic. Also, 1 ice cube a week will keep it happy!
