Phalaenopsis

Bringing exquisite delicacy to your home.

Orchidaceae

Phalaenopsis of the Orchidaceae family is the elegant artwork of plant life.

Stemming from Ancient Greek, the name “Phalaenopsis” — meaning “to have the appearance of a kind of moth” — captures the exoticness of the plant’s appearance.

Its monopodial, tubular structure (growing from a single stem) and narrow, leathery leaves provide a base for the spotlight: arching branches that bear waxy flowers of deep, vibrant colours. Two flat petals and three petal-like sepals comprise the flower bud, whereas the centre is a unique, lip-shaped petal with several lobes.

Caring for phalaenopsis

Though native to the tropical climates of India, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Australia, phalaenopsis can grow similarly in one’s own home under balanced conditions.

Natural light
In a room or by a window, anywhere with natural lighting — but avoid direct sunlight, which would scorch the leaves.
Warmth & airflow
Keep them in warm temperatures, matched with airflow to balance the humidity.
Thorough moisture
With only their leaves to store water, they require thorough moisture to avoid drying out completely.
Fall to spring blooms
Under this care, phalaenopsis should bloom primarily through fall to spring.
