Phalaenopsis Orchid

Beautiful colour. Do you find it easy to keep them going?

Hi Sheila, Yes, these are quite undemanding & blooms about 2x per year. Each bloom cycle will last a couple months. Filtered sun light - a screen or curtain sheer will do. They can grow in shade but won't bloom like this. Lots of good air circulation - don't crowd them. Keep window just barely open (in cold months) or use a fan to keep the air moving. Keep water off the crown, blot crown with paper towel if water gets down into the crotch. Don't bury the roots in potting soil, use the chunky orchid mix or moss.Let the roots sprawl out of the pot. They need air flow around the roots. I've had this one about 5 years. Here is a video that goes into detailed care.

You're welcome. They are very rewarding to grow.
