If you are a beginner in plant caring, I highly recommend buying the Phalaenopsis Orchid as they are straightforward to care for and need minimum maintenance. This plant is also easy to grow! Now, I'll inform you about the care for the Phalaenopsis orchid flower. See below!

• Soil

  Let me begin from the soil. The phalaenopsis orchid needs a unique orchid-growing medium to mimic the conditions where moth orchids grow on trees. 

  Unfortunately, the standard potting mix isn't suitable for this orchid as it does not offer air circulation around the root system. If you have smaller orchids, you can use a coco plug or sphagnum moss. However, if you have more giant orchids, it is better to pot them in bark media.

  

• Water

  You can water the Phalaenopsis Orchid weekly or whenever the exposed roots turn silvery white in the growing season (summer). Please ensure the plant drains completely. Beware that the roots will rot if exposed for a prolonged time.

• Light

  Phalaenopsis Orchids appreciate bright and indirect light. It is genuinely understandable because most orchids also act that way. I prefer the sort or east-facing window to produce blooms! You can also rotate the orchid occasionally to keep the plant growing even more.

• Temperature and Humidity

  You must know that the Phalaenopsis Orchids prefer temperatures around 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. However, they also adapt well to average indoor temperatures, around 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. They don't like dry environments, so hug them in humid conditions.

  

• Fertilizer

  Only fertilize your Phalaenopsis Orchid with diluted orchid fertilizer during the growing season. Apply it every three or four weeks. Avoid feeding them during the fall, spring, or winter.

• Pruning

  Prune the mature Phalaenopsis Orchid once a year during its dormancy period. Use clean scissors or a knife to cut the top portion of the stem back to one inch above the node. This can encourage a new stem section.

  

Conclusion

Care for a phalaenopsis orchid is easy; even a beginner can do it! If you want to grow this beautiful flower at home, please follow the steps above. I have explained them straightforwardly so that everyone can understand them well!
