Indoor Plants

Phalaenopsis, commonly known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of orchids in the family orchid. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end.Place your orchid in a bright room, but not in direct sunlight. Water the orchid infrequently, being guided by the plant, rather than watering on a schedule. Many more orchids die from over-watering than under-watering. Only water the roots. Keep the flowers and leaves dry. Use a well-draining pot and growing media and never let your orchid sit in water for more than a few minutes. Use a water-soluble fertilizer. Fertilize every 1-2 weeks, but not during the flowering phase.
