The elegant PHALAENOPSIS ORCHID

Phalaenopsis are among the most popular orchids sold as potted plants. In your home they can last two to three months. In nature they are typically fond of warmer temperatures (20 to 35 °C) but are adaptable to cooler conditions (15 to 30 °C). At temparetures below 18 °C watering should be reduced to prevent root rot. Phalaenopsis requires high humidity (60-70%) and low light. Phalaenopsis prefer to be potted in fir bark which drains well. Overwatering and poor drainage causes the roots to deterioriate and therefore kills the plant. Light is vital to the well being of your plant. Keep it in indirect sunlight near a southern window. Direct sunlight will cause brown spots on the leaves. The green point at the end of the root signifies that it is actively growing, do not cut them! When the last flowers loses it's color, cut the stem halfway down. Continue caring for your orchid with a high nitogen fertilizer at 1 teaspoon per gallon of water and wait for a possible rebloom. (you may lucky to have it bloom up to twice a year)
