Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid

Purple Phalaenopsis Orchid grew from a simple pairing: bold color, quiet container. We chose a sleek glass cube so the royal purple blooms could stand alone, without a fussy pot. It's a favorite for a desk or counter that needs color.

What to know about sizing, care, and delivery for this orchid.

• Known in horticulture for easy care, the moth orchid rewards proper care with steady bloom in any environment for those who tend it.
• Light: An east facing window provides bright, indirect light essential here; protect each leaf from strong afternoon sun as growth stays healthy.
• Watering: This phal likes room temperature water once a week, or an ice cube; let roots and pot dry to avoid overwatering and root rot.
• Humidity & Fertilizing: Fertilize monthly with a diluted fertilizer; moderate humidity, mist, and a pot keep pests away and this specimen healthy.
• Repotting: Plan to repot this phalaenopsis every year or two, timing it for after the blooms fade rather than while it's flowering; inspect the pot and aerial roots for rot, then prune away any leaf showing damage.

• If the phalaenopsis or glass cube is unavailable, our designers choose a fitting substitute, one that's ready to grow.

Does moth orchid mean the same thing as phalaenopsis?

It does; the blooms resemble small moths mid-flight, and in the wild this orchid clings to bark instead of soil.

Is purple a natural phalaenopsis color?

Some purple tones occur naturally, though many nurseries deepen the shade; either way this species reblooms for years.

Which older species contributed to this hybrid's lineage?

Phalaenopsis amabilis and Phalaenopsis stuartiana are ancestors behind many modern hybrids; check the American Orchid Society website to explore propagation.

Can I send chocolates along with the orchid?
