Orchid - Medium - Phalaenopsis

The Phalaenopsis Orchid is a beautiful and exotic plant that is native to the tropical regions of Asia and Australia. This plant is most known for its ability to brighten up indoor spaces, making it a popular choice for home gardeners in the United States. The Phalaenopsis orchid is relatively easy to care for, and with proper care, it can bloom for months at a time. If you are looking for a plant that will add beauty and elegance to your home, the Phalaenopsis orchid is a great choice.

When watering your orchid, it's important to never allow water to rest around the stem of the plant. If you do, the new leaves will rot and your orchid will die. Instead, use warm water to soak the roots of the plant three or four times over the course of about 10 minutes. This gives the roots time to absorb all of the moisture they need, while also providing enough time for any excess water to drain away from the stem.

Once your Phalaenopsis orchid has been watered, return it back to its window and make sure that the plant is completely drained before you put any covers over it. The ideal temperature range for a Phalaenopsis orchid is between 65-85°F (18-29°C), so make sure you keep your plant in its ideal temperature.
