Temperature:

Phalaenopsis Orchids prefer minimum temperatures at night of 60-65⁰F, and an average daytime temperature of around 75-85⁰F. Occasional variations will not harm your plant, except when in budding stage as chilly temperatures may cause plant to stop budding.

Light:

Phalaenopsis Orchids will flourish indoors under normal lighting conditions, with indirect sunlight being the most advantageous.  

Water:

Water often enough to keep continous moisture just below the surface of the medium, but please avoid over-watering as this will cause roots to rot. Watering once a week is normally sufficient to keep your plant healthy and happy.            

Humidity:

Phalaenopsis Orchids enjoy moist air, with an ideal humidity level of 55-75%. You may mist them regularly  with a spray bottle to recreate the tropical climate they love most. 

Feeding:

High-nitrogen fertilizer is recommended year-round at 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. Feed your plant once a month. In this instance, less is more. So be sure not to over-feed your plant.

Repotting:

Plants should be repotted every other year (preferably in orchid soil you can find at your local garden store), and because they grow upwards without spreading, you may reuse the original container.

IMPORTANT:

When the last flower drops, cut your flower spike halfway down the stem to encourage re-growth. Orchids do not spread and will re-grow flowers on the original stem.
