White Apple Moth Orchid
About White Apple Moth Orchid
Phalaenopsis orchids get their name from the Greek 'phalaina' meaning moth, as their flowers are thought to resemble moth or butterfly wings! 🦋 Once their flowers have blossomed, they will eventually die but the plant will live one and continue to produce new flower spikes throughout its life. Orchid flowers evolved to attract pollinators and ther unique shape helps keep insects safe while collecting and dispersing pollen! 🐝

When do I kno when to replant this #PhalaenopsisOrchid

Best medium and setup?? I rescued this gorgeous little lady—a Miniature Phalaenopsis—from Sprouts Farmers Market for $3 this morning! 😱😱 I think she'll be happy in this location, but I highly doubt she'll be thrilled if she stays in her pot, and I think she's just in regular soil. I wish there were a way to put her in with Athena and train her to climb Athena's stalks 😂😂 @Alucen @DreamMachine @FunLentenrose37 @Idplantthat @IWantThatPlant @Malagueña @MariansOasis @princesspitstop @SillyPlantGirl @uhhh.haileyyy @debbiedo @Kittylover1612 @MamaLinne @Ms.Persnickety @planthoe40 @HolyLacealoe @Succulent_Soul #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #orchidlovers #phalaenopsisorchid #thewateringhole

What's going on with my orchid plant? Hello everyone. This is my first post here in the community. Could anyone tell me what is going on with my beloved orchid plant? How can I save it? I believe I left it one day under the scorching sun, by mistake? Can that be the reason? I now have it in my kitchen near the window, but it's turning its bright green leaves into brown and probably dying. Please save. #orchidlovers #floweringplants

My orchid is in its dormant form right now. I followed the instructions on re-blooming. How long does it normally take to come back to life? #PhalaenopsisOrchid

Leaves at the bottom are bending down. Other orchid I have bends up #PhalaenopsisOrchid

My baby’s soul is full of very time black bugs. Why? He still looks healthy and is growing, but I’m concerned about the pests. What should I do? #PhalaenopsisOrchid

Orchid pests help! Hello guys! I recently discovered both white thin bugs and brown circular bugs(both very tiny and not fluffy) on my orchid plant roots. I noticed when I bought the orchid from the Lowe’s clearance that the roots looked sunburned but thought nothing of it until now. I realize it might be pest damage, so does anyone know what the best next steps might be? I’m lost and don’t know what to do :/ @DreamMachine @Ms.Persnickety @stephongreg edit: just realized that they could definitely be benificial pests, and the white ones look a lot like springtails. Not too sure about the other ones though? My other plants seem unaffected.

I need help with my orchid!! 😞 I got this orchid a few months ago I believe it was—and it had been planted in a really hard substance that I had decided to repot it out of and into bark. Ever since then, it’s went way downhill and all of its roots died and were cut off and now it looks like this 😞. I feel so disappointed and I would love to know if there’s a way to bring her back, and what steps to take! And maybe if it is salvageable, would adding moss in the mix fix it? And what could I do until then? #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #OrchidLovers #PhalaenopsisOrchid #Phalaenopsis #Orchid #helpneeded #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantCorner #TheWateringHole

Got my plant in March. It was in full bloom. In the past week it has lost most of its blooms. Is that normal? #PhalaenopsisOrchid
