Orchid Phalaenopsis Mini Blooming Butterfly (Mini Moth Orchid)
The Mini Phalaenopsis Orchid, also known as the Butterfly Orchid, is a compact flowering houseplant with elegant arching stems covered in long lasting blooms. The flowers resemble small butterflies resting on the spike and can stay in bloom for several months. Its small size makes it perfect for desks, shelves and windowsills, and it is a reliable choice for beginners.
Each plant is healthy and well established. Colours vary depending on current stock and are selected at random. All plants from Highland Moss include a scannable QR code for easy access to care guides and support.
Place in a bright spot with indirect light. Avoid strong sun which can mark the leaves. Water lightly when the bark mix becomes almost dry and always allow excess water to drain away. Overwatering is the most common problem with orchids. After flowering, the spike can rebloom or a new one will grow from the base.
Phalaenopsis orchids are considered pet friendly and suitable for homes with cats and dogs. Orchid bark, decorative planters and plant food are available in our shop to help maintain healthy growth. Packaging materials are reused and recyclable whenever possible and all photos are our own.

☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Orchid Phalaenopsis Blooming Butterfly thrives in medium light. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. A spot near an east or shaded south window is ideal.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your orchid every 1 to 2 weeks, allowing the potting mix to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage and use water that is at room temperature.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Moth Orchids prefer average indoor temperatures of 18-24°C. Keep them away from drafts, sudden temperature changes, and direct heat sources to avoid stress.
💧 Humidity
💧💧▫️ (Moderate)
These orchids enjoy a moderate humidity level of 40-60%. If your home is dry, especially during winter, use a humidity tray or a small room humidifier to boost moisture levels.
🌱 Repotting
Repot your orchid every 2-3 years or when the potting medium breaks down. Use an orchid-specific potting mix to ensure proper drainage and aeration. Choose a pot that’s slightly larger than the current one to give your orchid room to grow.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Orchid Phalaenopsis Blooming Butterfly is non-toxic and safe for pets. However, it’s best to keep it out of reach as curious pets might damage the delicate flowers.
🏠 Recommended Locations at Home
This orchid is perfect for brightening up living rooms, bathrooms, or kitchens, where the light is sufficient but indirect. It also makes a sophisticated addition to office spaces, creating a tranquil and inviting ambiance.
🌿 Air Purifying
While not particularly known for air-purifying properties, having plants like the Phalaenopsis Orchid can contribute to overall improved air quality by increasing humidity and adding a touch of nature’s freshness to your indoor environment.
