2 stem white orchid

The orchid is one of the most popular indoor flowers and a symbol of elegance and nobility. Especially the Phalaenopsis, known as the moth orchid, is often chosen for home décor and special occasions because of its elegant form and long-lasting blooms. This beautiful tropical plant can stay in bloom for months with proper care and can flower more than once a year.

Light: Orchids prefer bright but indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn their leaves. Morning sun or light from behind a curtain is ideal. Watering: Watering once a week is usually sufficient. Because orchid soil doesn't retain water, it's important not to keep the roots wet for too long. Make sure excess water drains through the holes in the bottom of the pot. Temperature: Temperatures around 20–25°C during the day and 16–18°C at night are ideal. They should be kept away from sudden temperature changes and wind. Humidity: Orchids prefer humid environments. Spraying their leaves with water or placing a humidifier in the room is beneficial. Additional humidity may be necessary, especially in winter if near a radiator. Soil and Pot: Orchid soil is usually a mixture of pine bark, peat moss, and perlite. Transparent, airy pots are preferred because the roots also need light. Flowering: After the flowering period has passed, cut the stem in half and allow the plant to rest. With proper care, it may bloom again within a few months. Fertilization: Feeding your orchid with food once a month supports the flowering process. Nutritional supplements are especially important in spring and summer. Tip: If your orchid's roots are green, they are sufficiently moist; if they are turning gray, they are dehydrated.
