The light from a south- or west-facing window may be too strong and burn the leaves. 2. Consistent Moisture — Water your orchid about once a week. Water around the base of the plant and don’t overwater. 3. Warm Temperatures — Orchids are tropical plants. Keep them in a room heated between 65-80 degrees. 4.

It is one of the most popular orchids grown thanks to its easy culture. Most Phalaenopsis orchids are epiphytic orchids. This means that they derive the necessary moisture and nutrients for their survival from the air and the rain found in the local environment. A few Moth orchids are lithophytes meaning they grow in and around rocks. When growing in the wild lithophytic orchids get their moisture and nutrients from moss, rain water, litter, and their own dead tissue. Moth orchids exhibit monopodial growth which means they grow upward from one single point. Additional growth comes from that point as it grows taller each year. As Moth orchids are monopodial, they do not have pseudobulbs to store water. Phalaenopsis orchids, like most tropical plants, can be successfully grown when one follows proven and tested guidelines rewarding gardeners year after year with their exquisite, colorful, long lasting flowers. http
