Plant description
This moth orchid is part of the Bolgheri® series and is known for its manageable size, making it perfect for windowsills, desks, or smaller shelves. The plant produces arching flower spikes with multiple blooms that appear periodically throughout the year, providing long-lasting colour.
Phalaenopsis 'Bolgheri Lemon' thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys stable, warm indoor conditions. Keep the roots just moist, allow slight drying between waterings, and avoid letting it sit in water. A bark-based specialist orchid compost works best to support healthy roots.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Phalaenopsis Bolgheri Lemon:
They love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom would be ideal, and 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.
