Phalaenopsis Orchids

We have a number of varieties of Phalaenopsis. Ten - 20 varieties in total depending on how they are selling.

These are beautiful plants, with no disease and are well-drained.

They are imported in from Thailand and are potted in a 6" pot with a combination of gravel, perlite, clay pellets, and sphagnum moss.

The leaves are really robust and have been disease-free since we received them - we treat them every 7-10 days depending on the weather.

So come and see.

Phalaenopsis are best grown indoors in bright but indirect light. They need protection from direct light from the sun - we grow them under two layers of shade-cloth or on our outdoor patio in back.

You will probably want to grow these inside behind a curtain and out of the rain. As they begin to bloom the individual flower buds will continue to develop and open - we average 8 - 10 buds usually the first year of flowering on 1 - 2 stems. As they continue to develop we often have 3 stems at a time. The entire display of flowers can easily last for 2 - 3 months and will often reflower within the next year!


The Phals are highly susceptible to a bacterial infection called Crown Rot - make sure to talk to us about how we do preventative maintenance on them to minimize this killer! They will last for many years if given the correct treatment.

Additionally, they easily sunburn. Do not let them get direct sunlight - not even for an hour. They love bright light but not the sun.

They love cooler temperatures to help them set bloom - so we have the best blooms when we can provide them with temps below 17 degrees C for 4 weeks at a time.
