Description

Phalaenopsis, also known as the moth orchid, is a popular and relatively easy-to-care-for orchid. The Phalaenopsis splendid is a specific variety of this genus, known for its beautiful, large blooms. To keep your Phalaenopsis splendid healthy and thriving, here are the care tips:

Light:

  • Indirect bright light is ideal for Phalaenopsis splendid. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
  • A window with filtered light (east or west-facing) is perfect.

Temperature:

  • Warm temperatures are preferred. Daytime temperatures should range from 70-85°F (21-29°C), and nighttime temperatures should be between 60-70°F (16-21°C).
  • Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Watering:

  • Water once a week, or when the top inch of soil feels dry.
  • Be careful not to overwater; the roots should not sit in water.
  • Ensure good drainage by using pots with holes.

Humidity:

  • Phalaenopsis orchids thrive in high humidity (50-70%). You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water (without the pot sitting directly in the water).

Fertilizing:

  • Fertilize with a balanced orchid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). In fall and winter, reduce feeding as the plant goes dormant.
  • Use a diluted, water-soluble fertilizer designed for orchids.

Potting Mix:

  • Use a well-draining orchid mix, typically made up of bark, sphagnum moss, and perlite.
  • Avoid regular potting soil, as it retains too much moisture.

Repotting:

  • Repot your Phalaenopsis splendid every 1-2 years to refresh the growing medium and ensure healthy root growth.
  • Repot after blooming, if needed, or if the roots have outgrown the pot.

Blooms:

  • After blooming, cut the flower spike back to just above a node to encourage a secondary bloom, or cut it back to the base if you prefer the plant to rest.

Pest Control:

  • Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids, mealybugs, or scale. If needed, treat with insecticidal soap or a diluted alcohol solution.
