Care guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light such as a spot near an east- or north-facing window with filtered light. Avoid direct sun, which can burn the leaves.
• Water: Water about once a week, or when the potting mix is almost dry. Let it drain fully and never leave it sitting in water. Avoid getting water in the centre of the leaves.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity, which makes bathrooms and kitchens a great spot.
• Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks with a diluted orchid fertiliser while it’s growing.
• Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C. Keep away from cold draughts and heaters.
• Reblooming: Once flowers finish, trim the spike just above a node to encourage new blooms.

Good to know: Phalaenopsis orchids are considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, making them a great pet-friendly choice.
