Meet the Dark Purple Orchid—a beginner-friendly Phalaenopsis orchid with vivid magenta blooms with white undersides. Phalaenopsis orchids typically bloom about once a year for up to three months. Upon delivery, you may notice a few buds on your orchid; these blooms will open quicker in a warm indoor setting. After a blooming cycle, the flowers will wilt and fall off, allowing the orchid to store energy to re-bloom again next season. Added bonus: Phalaenopsis orchids are non-toxic, making them a great gift for plant and pet lovers.
Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
Orchid measures between 20–28" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
Arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled in your planter choice
The actual color of blooms may vary slightly from what is pictured
Care Guide
Dark Purple OrchidIndia, China, Southeast Asia
Plant Care
Thrives in bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium indirect light. Direct sun tolerance is species dependant.
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing potting medium to dry out between waterings. If kept in decorative, cache planter, pour out excess water after watering. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity.
This is a pet friendly plant.
Most Orchids are epiphytes fond of tight quarters. Keeping them in their grow pots keeps roots compact, and provides drainage and air circulation.
