Care Instructions for Novelty Phalaenopsis Orchids
-
Light: Place your orchid in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Water your orchid once a week, allowing the potting mix to dry out slightly between waterings. Use room-temperature water and avoid getting water on the leaves.
-
Humidity: Maintain humidity levels between 50% and 70%. You can use a humidity tray or a room humidifier to achieve this.
-
Temperature: Keep your orchid in a room with temperatures between 65°F (18°C) and 75°F (24°C) during the day, and never let it go below 60°F (15°C) because these are summer bloomers.
-
Fertilizer: Feed your orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) and once a month during the rest of the year.
-
Pruning: Pruning is only needed once the spike dries out because it is a sequential bloomer. Never cut off the spike if it is still green, as the orchid may continue to produce blooms from it. After the flowers have faded and the spike has dried out, trim the flower spike just above a node to encourage new growth and reblooming.
-
Repotting: Repot your orchid every 1-2 years using a well-draining orchid potting mix. Do this when the roots become too crowded or the potting mix breaks down.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your Novelty Phalaenopsis orchids thrive and bloom beautifully.
