Pot size 3"

Orchid not in bloom.

 

🔧 Skill Level:
Beginner-friendly, suitable for most orchid enthusiasts.

🌍 Native:
Hybrid; no natural habitat, but derived from Phalaenopsis species native to Southeast Asia.

⛰️ Elevations:
Typically grows at low to moderate elevations.

🪴 Size:
Compact to medium-sized plant.

🎍 Perfect for Terrariums?
No, Phalaenopsis orchids generally require good airflow and are better suited to open environments or spacious orchidariums rather than enclosed terrariums.

☀️ Blooming Season:
Primarily blooms in late winter to early spring but can re-bloom throughout the year under ideal conditions.

🌸 Bloom Size and Color:
Large, eye-catching flowers (3-4 inches across) with intricate yellow, pink, and magenta patterns resembling a kaleidoscope.

👃 Fragrance:
Non-fragrant.

🌡 Temperature:

  • Summer: 25-30°C (77-86°F) high / 18-21°C (64-70°F) low
  • Winter: 20-24°C (68-75°F) high / 16-18°C (60-64°F) low

💧 Watering:
Water thoroughly when the growing medium is nearly dry; typically every 7-10 days. Avoid allowing the roots to stay soggy. Watering frequency may vary with humidity levels.

☁️ Humidity:
50-70% preferred, with adequate air circulation to prevent rot and fungus.

💡 Light:
Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. An east-facing window is ideal, or filtered light in a south or west-facing window.

🌰 Growing Medium:
Well-draining orchid mix, ideally bark-based or a mix of bark and sphagnum moss to retain slight moisture while allowing airflow to roots.

🧪 Fertilization:
Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) at half-strength every 2 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce to once a month in fall and winter.
