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! 🐝

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

Ozge #PhalaenopsisOrchid this plant has not flowered since the last 2 years how can I get it to flower?
-
What is it with the orchid’s roots? It’s not mushy but why is the weird color?

Is this normal after first repotting? I got this orchid in May and repotted it after all the blooms dropped. Last water before today was the soak after repotting 10 days ago. It lives in the corner of two windows that get good sun but it’s not direct. A leaf at the bottom is yellowing, it looks like one above that is curling under, and the big one is drooping. Are these normal adjustments after repotting or is she heading south? #NewPlantMom #OrchidLovers

What is my Orchid telling me? #PhalaenopsisOrchid my orchid had a beautiful bloom after one year and a half of receiving it, and it is now growing some new leaves/ withering some old leaves and creating new roots at the back. It looks like it wants to be placed onto a vertical surface even though I only ever had it on a pot! Any tips here? It seems healthy I just want to give it the best possible enviroment!

My plant is alive but it looks dead I need help! And the roots look like a bonsai #PhalaenopsisOrchid

Orchid tips So I was gifted an orchid and was told I should cut the blooms off so the orchid can focus on regrowing roots? (There was a lot of root rot so I had to cut a lot of them.)

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
