Buy Phalaenopsis 'Blush Pink Willd Orchid' moth orchid ( Phalaenopsis Philisander ): Incredibly prolific and long-flowering

  • Position: bright but indirect light
  • Soil: these plants do not need to grow in compost, but if potting up, use a specialist orchid compost
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
  • Current height: approximately 45cm (+ or - 10% including the pot)
  • Pot cover: choose a 12.5cm orchid pot cover to give a good fit over the pot

    Noted for their ability to produce masses of flowers over an impressively long time (ours flowered non-stop for nearly an entire year), these showy orchids are also one of the easiest to grow. They make a great gift, as you will be receiving calls for ages afterwards telling you how wonderful they (still) look!

    Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.

  • Home care: Keep the compost moist during the warmer months, but in winter you should reduce the amount it gets, and only water occasionally. Ideally when watering, you should let them stand in a tray of water (or kitchen sink) so they can soak up as much as they like for an hour or two. Afterwards, let the excess water drain away completely. It is always best to give them a a good soak when they get quite dry, rather than watering little and often. Their preference is for soft, tepid water.

    They love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom would be ideal, and mist the leaves with water occasionally, especially if they are in a heated room.

    Don't worry if the roots grow outside the pot. In their native environment, they grow in the crooks of branches, and use these aerial roots to absorb water from the air. They do not mind being overcrowded in their pots, so you only need to repot them when the growth starts to suffer. They usually only send up flower spikes once a year, however you may encourage a second flush of flowers to form more quickly if you trim back the stem to just above the first node immediately after they have finished flowering. They prefer even temperatures, so try not to have big drops at night time.

When I received my orchid, I was disappointed because of the central terminal flower spike.This would mean that I would have no new leaves growing from the crown. I researched and discovered that this little orchid flowers again from older leaf growth. She's opened up all her flowers and it is a mass of light and darker pink flowers. The flowers have a beautiful hooked lip tinged in yellow spots. Very happy with my new addition to my orchid family.
