The standard hybrid phalaenopsis is easy to take care of if you adjust care to your conditions and ensure you have good drainage. Dry conditions should use airy orchid or bark mixes with more sphagnum moss while those growing in humid conditions can use less/no sphagnum. I use a very airy mix so I can shower and soak weekly.

You need to know proper care for this plant. They will not thrive in the pots that you get them in from the supermarket.

Very beautiful plants

Orchids can be difficult and are not a first time plant. Don’t buy your girlfriend one if she has no plants.

If you can keep store-bought orchids alive for longer than a year my hat’s off to you.

With a phalaenopsis orchid, you will experience blooms withering and dropping from the stems after its season of bloom passes, and left behind will be dry thorns. Don't worry, it isn't dead! Just look up some proper plant care after blooms fall and ensure that it can bloom in its following season. Some people's orchids bloom in the spring, while others' bloom in the fall. Mine has a strange reversed cycle of blooming in the winter and remaining dormant all year until that season rolls around again. Just try to recognize the patterns in your plant, it'll be helpful!

Maybe it is just something I am doing but I cannot keep flowers on my orchid for more than a month. None of them!! I have 4 all growing new leaves but no shoots or blooms!

Such an easy plant to maintain!! I was gifted one for my birthday which was the beginning of April and the flowers are still as perfect as they were when I first got the plant and we are at the start of June :)

It hasn’t bloomed in years but I have hope! It is growing new roots again and new leaves. 🤞🤞
