White Phalaenopsis Orchid in Ceramic Pot

•

Dimensions: Total plant height - H34-44cm

•

Care- Keep the bark compost moist, but not wet, checking every few days and adding a little water when required. Tap water can be used, but soft water (eg rain water) is preferable if available

•

The water should be tepid, not cold. Where possible, water over a sink and allow any excess water to drain out. Food is available specifically for orchids - follow the manufacturer’s instructions, taking care not to over-feed

•

Remove any dying flowers when they are almost ready to fall off, without pulling hard. Phalaenopsis orchids will flower for several weeks and often for 3 months or more

•

After flowering, cut back the stem part-way down, just above a node or ‘eye, while the stem is still green. New growth will start from this node and should produce some further flowers after 2-3 months

•

Alternatively, cut the spent stem off at base level and the plant should produce a completely new flowering stem several months later

•

Position- Stand the orchid indoors in a light position, but not in harsh sun: a north-east or west facing windowsill is ideal. Maintain a temperature of between 18 and 25˚C (65-75 ˚F) and don’t enclose behind closed curtains at night

•

For ornamental purposes only. Not fit for human or animal consumption, some flowers, plants and pollen can be harmful to humans/pets. Protect all surfaces as scratching or staining may occur
