☀️ 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.
