2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Asparagales
Family: Orchidaceae
Genus: Phalaenopsis
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Taiwan, parts of China, and northeastern Australia. Widely cultivated and now grown in greenhouse and indoor environments worldwide for its ornamental value.
4. Visual Characteristics
Epiphytic orchid with thick, leathery green leaves arranged in a basal rosette. Flower spikes emerge from the base and bear multiple flat, moth‐shaped blooms with a prominent lip. Flowers range from 5–10 cm across and appear in shades of white, pink, yellow, lavender, and spotted or striped patterns.
5. Size & Dimensions
Mature height including flower spikes: 30–45 cm (12–18 in). Plant spread: 25–30 cm (10–12 in). Individual flower spikes can reach 30–60 cm (12–24 in) tall, bearing 3–20 flowers per spike.
6. Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light (approximately 1,000–1,500 foot-candles). Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn. East- or west-facing windows filtered with sheer curtains are ideal. Healthy leaves should be light to medium green; dark green indicates low light, yellowish leaves indicate overexposure.
7. Watering Needs
Water about once a week, allowing potting medium to become slightly dry between waterings. Use tepid water and thoroughly soak the medium, then drain excess. In cooler or more humid conditions, reduce frequency. Occasional misting of roots and underside of leaves helps maintain humidity.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining orchid mix composed of fir bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, and charcoal. Repot every 12–24 months after flowering or when mix breaks down. Clear plastic or clay pots with side slits allow light to roots and improve air circulation.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Daytime: 18–27 °C (65–80 °F); nighttime: 13–18 °C (55–65 °F) with a 5–10 °C drop to encourage flowering. Optimal humidity: 50–70%. Provide good air movement to reduce fungal and bacterial disease risk. Use humidity trays or room humidifiers if ambient air is too dry.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced, water‐soluble orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) at quarter to half strength every other watering during active growth (spring–summer). Reduce to monthly applications in fall and winter. Flush medium monthly with plain water to prevent salt buildup.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Care Level: Moderate. Requires regular monitoring of moisture, light, and humidity. Remove spent flowers and cut back flower spikes above a node to encourage rebloom. Inspect monthly for pests and clean leaves to allow efficient photosynthesis.
12. Growth & Propagation
Produces keikis (plantlets) on flower spikes that can be removed and potted once they develop 2–3 roots of 5–7 cm. Division during repotting is possible for larger clumps. Reuse old flower spikes by cutting above the second or third node to encourage a secondary bloom.
13. Common Problems
Root rot from overwatering or poor drainage; yellow or spotted leaves from sunburn; bud blast (buds drop) due to temperature or humidity fluctuations; pests include mealybugs, scale, and spider mites; fungal diseases such as botrytis.
14. Benefits & Uses
Highly prized ornamental for its long‐lasting, elegant blooms; ideal for home and office decor, event receptions, and gifting. Symbolizes beauty and luxury. Studies suggest orchids may help improve perceived air quality and boost mood in indoor environments.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Non-toxic to dogs, cats, and humans. Safe for households with pets and children. Practicing standard care—washing hands after handling and keeping fertilizing products out of reach—ensures safety.
