Phalaenopsis Orchid

Brief Description

Phalaenopsis orchids, commonly known as moth orchids, are distinguished by their large, flat flowers that come in a variety of colors, including white, pink, and purple. They have broad, flat leaves and can bloom for several months, making them popular as houseplants.

Care Instructions

Phalaenopsis orchids prefer indirect light and temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Water them once a week, allowing the water to drain completely. High humidity is beneficial, so misting or a humidity tray may help. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season.

Medicinal Value

While primarily appreciated for their beauty, orchids are also used in traditional medicine in some cultures, with extracts being attributed with potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
