Phalaenopsis (Orchids) - Single Stem with Ceramic Orchid Pot

5" POT

Orchids are not like traditional potted plants. They are epiphytes which means that they do not grow in dirt, but rather by hanging on to the bark of trees. But don't worry, orchid care isn't difficult, just different. These beautiful plants can bloom for months each year and live indefinitely! They can make excellent house plants.

Spread: 3 in - 6 in

Water: Moderate

Light: While these plants do love a lot of bright, indirect light, be sure to avoid exposing your orchid to more than 1 hour of direct light a day. They are best placed in an east or west facing window. Pale leaves with brown patches indicate excessive light. Dark green leaves indicate insufficient light.

Watering: Lukewarm water (not softened or distilled) is best. Once a week during colder seasons, and twice a week during warmer seasons is good for orchids. The size of your container will also affect how often you need to water.
