Plant Care Orchid Phalaenopsis

The moth orchid, or Phalaenopsis, is a graceful and elegant flowering plant cherished for its delicate blooms that resemble fluttering moths. With its long-lasting flowers and low-maintenance nature, it's a perfect addition to any indoor space.

Care instructions

Light and position

Place your orchid in bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves. Rotate the plant periodically to ensure even exposure to light.

Watering

Water your moth orchid sparingly, allowing the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings. It’s better to underwater than overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Use room temperature water and avoid wetting the leaves to prevent fungal diseases.

Other helpful tips

Trim spent flower spikes to promote new blooms and maintain the plant’s appearance. Repot your orchid every 1-2 years using a well-draining orchid mix to refresh the growing medium.

Toxicity

While moth orchids are not considered highly toxic, it’s best to keep them out of reach of pets and children. Ingesting parts of the plant may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. If ingestion occurs, monitor for any adverse reactions and consult a veterinarian or healthcare professional if needed. We always recommend doing your own research on the toxicity of plants and making your own decisions about whether the plant is the right one for your home.
