But that's not to say you won't ever have phalaenopsis problems. Just to insure they're few and far between let's run down a list of the typical easy care instructions for phalaenopsis orchids. So you'll be up to speed on caring for a phalaenopsis orchid. Lighting Moth Orchids require plenty of indirect light. Just so you avoid direct sun light or directly on the leaves. That means you'll want to filter the light through your sheers. Since too much sun light can quickly hurt the leaves. Yet without enough light you will grow beautiful leaves and never see any blooms again |
You feed them the same plant food you would any other houseplant. Just water it down to like half strength and you'll be fine!
Watering
The trick with any orchid is to figure out how to water them - without killing them. In this case Phalaenopsis need to be kept evenly moist but NEVER wet! Otherwise you risk the dreaded killer phalaenopsis root rot. So whenever you water, water very thoroughly. Then don't water again until it's dry most of the way through.
You can also mist them. But don't let water sit on the crown. That can cause crown rot.
