Where can I buy a potted Phalaenopsis?
Most florist’s have a diverse selection of Phalaenopsis available, whether in a special and decorative flowerpot or not. The florist is a real professional, who can advise you about how to keep this plant looking beautiful. These days the Phalaenopsis is also often available in supermarkets and on flower markets.
In what colours can I buy a Phalaenopsis?
There are at least 300 varieties of Phalaenopsis available. In addition to the usual colours, white, yellow, red, purple and pink, also beautiful Phalaenopsis with stripes or dots are available. The labella or lips of a Phalaenopsis also have special colours and shapes. In other words, a special plant is available for every interior and taste.
On average, how long does a Phalaenopsis have flowers?
Some Phalaenopsis have flowers for a few weeks, some a few months. If you prune the branch above the second eye (= node on the branch) after the flowers fell off, the plant can start to grow new flowers in a few weeks.
My Phalaenopsis suddenly starts dropping flower buds, why does it do that?
This usually happens because of a lack of sunlight. Make sure you place the plant in a light place, but don’t put it in direct sunlight.
How do I water the Phalaenopsis? Will spraying suffice?
Dunk the pot of the Phalaenopsis under in lukewarm water for a few minutes once a week and then allow the plant to drain. Occasional spraying is alright but it is not necessary. The Phalaenopsis does like a humid environment though.
Good afternoon! Could you explain if there is any need to replant my Phalaenopsis to another pot? If the Phalaenopsis should be replanted, when I must do that, taking into the consideration that we bought it 4 days ago?
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards!
