1. Basic Identification

Botanical Name: Phalaenopsis hybrids
Former Name: Not available

اوركيد
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Asparagales
Family: Orchidaceae
Subfamily: Epidendroideae
Tribe: Vandeae
Subtribe: Aeridinae
Genus: Phalaenopsis
Species: hybrids (cultivated interspecific hybrids)
3. Origin & Distribution
Phalaenopsis orchids are native to the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Taiwan, southern China, Malaysia, Indonesia and northern Australia. They grow epiphytically on tree trunks and branches in warm, humid environments. Today these hybrids are cultivated worldwide as ornamental houseplants and greenhouse specimens.
4. Visual Characteristics
Flowers: White, moth‐shaped blooms with a central yellow or pale pink lip, waxy texture, up to 7–10 cm across.
Inflorescences: Arching flower spikes bearing 5–20 blooms per stem.
Leaves: 2–6 oblong to elliptic, thick, leathery dark green leaves, 15–45 cm long.
Roots: Fleshy aerial roots covered in silvery velamen that turn green when moist.
5. Size & Dimensions
Plant height (with blooms): 30–60 cm
Plant spread: 30–50 cm
Flower spike length: 30–90 cm
Leaf length: 15–45 cm
6. Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct midday sun which can scorch leaves. East‐ or west‐facing windows with filtered light work best. A light level of approximately 12,000–18,000 lux encourages bud set without leaf burn.
7. Watering Needs
Water thoroughly once a week in spring and summer, allowing water to drain freely from the pot. Reduce frequency to every 10–14 days in cooler months. Allow roots to dry slightly between waterings; do not leave the plant sitting in water to prevent root rot.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well‐draining orchid mix composed of fir bark, charcoal and perlite or sphagnum moss. Transparent plastic pots or slotted clay pots are preferred to monitor root health and allow air circulation. Repot every 1–2 years, ideally just after flowering.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Daytime: 18–30 °C (64–86 °F)
Nighttime: 15–20 °C (59–68 °F)
Humidity: 50–70%. Use humidity trays or humidifiers if indoor air is too dry. Avoid temperatures below 13 °C (55 °F).
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced, water‐soluble orchid fertilizer (20-20-20 or 30-10-10) at 1/4–1/2 strength every 1–2 weeks during active growth. Flush with plain water monthly to prevent salt build‐up. Reduce feeding in winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Care Level: Easy to moderate. Regular monitoring of light, water and humidity is required. Minimal pruning; remove spent flower spikes and yellowing leaves to maintain appearance and plant health.
12. Growth & Propagation
Growth Habit: Slow to moderate growth; produces new leaves and roots from the monopodial crown.
Propagation: By removal of keikis (plantlets) that occasionally form on mature flower spikes, or by division of large, multi‐fan plants. Seed propagation is done commercially under sterile laboratory conditions.
13. Common Problems
Overwatering can cause root rot. Underwatering leads to shriveled roots and leaf loss. Bud blast (premature bud drop) may occur with sudden environmental changes. Pests include mealybugs, scale and spider mites. Spotting or yellowing leaves often indicate inappropriate light or humidity.
14. Benefits & Uses
Widely used as an elegant indoor ornamental for home and office. Ideal as a thoughtful gift, desk plant or reception display. Long‐lasting blooms add aesthetic appeal. Some studies suggest orchids can contribute to improved indoor air quality.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Non‐toxic to humans and pets (dogs and cats). Safe for households with children and animals.
