Grows Well With
Add a pop of serenity to your tablescape with this popular, pint-sized Phalaenopsis orchid. This variety is affectionally called the "beginner orchid" because it's one of the easiest varieties to grow as a houseplant. You may notice a small number of blooms on your orchid upon delivery. These blooms will open quicker in a warm indoor setting. It will typically bloom about once a year, for up to three months. After a blooming cycle, the flowers will wilt and fall off. This is the orchid’s way to store up energy to re-bloom again next season.

- Orchid measures between 8"–14" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage

Care Guide
Care Guide
- 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.
