🌳 Description:

• Family: Orchidaceae

• Genus: Phalaenopsis

• Domestic use: An orchid suitable for indoor cultivation, ideal as an ornamental indoor plant thanks to its showy and long-lasting flowering

• Flowering: Abundant; can rebloom multiple times a year under optimal conditions

🌞 Light exposure: Medium, indirect, diffused light. Avoid direct sunlight which can burn the leaves. Ideal near an east or west-facing window, or a south-facing window shaded by a curtain.

🚿 Watering: Water when the substrate is almost completely dry, generally every 7–10 days in summer and every 10–14 days in winter. Prefer immersing the pot for 10–15 minutes, then allowing it to drain completely. Avoid water stagnation at the crown.

🌡️ Minimum tolerable temperature and cultivation temperature: Cultivation in an intermediate-warm range: ideal daytime temperature 22–28 °C, nighttime 16–20 °C. Minimum tolerable temperature: 15 °C for short periods. Avoid abrupt temperature changes and cold drafts.

🌱 Soil type and repotting: Recommended substrate: pure sphagnum moss or bark mixed with perlite. Repot every 1–2 years, preferably after flowering, when roots are abundantly growing out of the pot or the substrate has deteriorated.

🌿 Fertilization: Fertilize every 2 weeks during the active growing season (spring-summer) with a balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) at half the recommended dose. In autumn-winter, reduce to once a month.

✂️ Pruning or other recommended agricultural treatments: After flowering, cut the flower stem above a node to stimulate new branching, or at the base if the stem is completely spent. Remove dry or damaged leaves with sterilized tools. No resting period necessary.

💧 Ambient humidity: Ideal humidity: 60–80%. In dry environments, mist the aerial roots (not the leaves) or place the pot on a tray with pebbles and water. Always ensure good ventilation to prevent rot.
