Plant description
A pair of the most beautiful, multi-branched phalaenopsis orchids with stems bursting with buds and flowers. Nestled together in a white ceramic self-watering trough, they need little maintenance. The indicator tube will show when the water reservoir is running low, and a regular light misting will keep the plant fresh and healthy.
Home care: Keep the water full to below the base of the orchid pots and the clever water wick will soak up the water the plants need without the risk of overwatering. Use the water level indicator as your guide.
These plants love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom makes the perfect spot. Mist the leaves with water occasionally, especially if they are in a heated room.
Don't worry if the roots grow outside the pot. In their native environment, they grow in the crooks of branches, and use these aerial roots to absorb water from the air. They do not mind being overcrowded in their pots, so you only need to repot them when the growth starts to suffer. They usually only send up flower spikes once a year, however you may encourage a second flush of flowers to form more quickly if you trim back the stem to just above the first node immediately after they have finished flowering. They prefer even temperatures, so try not to have big drops at night time.
