How to care
Phalaenopsis, commonly known as moth orchids, are popular houseplants due to their beautiful blooms and ease of care. They thrive in bright, indirect light and prefer a warm, humid environment. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. These orchids are epiphytic, meaning they grow on other plants in nature, so they require a well-draining orchid mix.
