Hailing from the tropical regions of Asia and Australia, The Pink Phalaenopsis Orchid, also known as the Moth Orchid, is a stunning and popular houseplant. With its graceful arching stems, delicate waxy flowers, and vibrant pink hues, it adds a touch of elegance and beauty to any space.
The most striking feature of the Pink Phalaenopsis Orchid is its long-lasting flowers. These blooms typically come in shades of soft pink, ranging from pale blush to deeper magenta. Each flower has five petals, with the upper two forming a large, rounded lip. The flowers are arranged in a graceful cascade along the stem, creating a truly mesmerizing display.
The stems of Phalaenopsis Orchids contribute to their overall aesthetic, showcasing an arching form that creates a sense of movement and elegance. Emerging from leaf joints, these stems enhance the orchid’s unique and captivating appearance.
Phalaenopsis are “monopodial” orchids, indicating that they grow from a single stem. Unlike sympodial (or branching) orchids with large water-storing pseudobulbs, Phalaenopsis orchids lack these structures and hence need to be watered more regularly.
This listing is for a Pink Phalaenopsis Orchid plant with a single flower spike.

Place your orchid in bright, indirect sunlight, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent potential scorching of delicate petals. Periodically turn your orchid to ensure uniform growth.
Maintain a comfortable temperature range between 65-75°F during the day and slightly cooler at night (around 55°F), avoiding sudden temperature changes.
Water the orchid when the top inch of the potting mix feels dry, ensuring thorough watering and avoiding waterlogging.
Use a well-draining ready-made orchid potting mix or create your mix with orchid bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, and charcoal to prevent water accumulation around the roots.
Feed the orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer during the growing season, following package instructions for dilution and frequency. Reduce fertilization during the dormant period.
Trim spent flowers and yellowing leaves with sterile scissors, being cautious not to damage healthy parts of the plant.
While these orchids are generally considered non-toxic, exercise caution to prevent ingestion by humans and pets.
