Displays blush pink blooms with darker raspberry centres and fine striping, creating a striking contrast that lasts for weeks. Flowers are held on upright or arching spikes and appear periodically throughout the year with low maintenance requirements in the right location. Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option. Keep the compost moist during the warmer months, but in winter you should reduce the amount it gets, and only water occasionally. Ideally when watering, you should let them stand in a tray of water (or kitchen sink) so they can soak up as much as they like for an hour or two. Afterwards, let the excess water drain away completely. It is always best to give them a good soak when they get quite dry, rather than watering little and often. Their preference is for soft, tepid water. Phalaenopsis love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom would be ideal, and mist the leaves with water occasionally, especially if they are in a heated room. Don't worry if the roots grow outside the pot. In their native environment, they grow in the crooks of branches, and use these aerial roots to absorb water from the air. They do not mind being overcrowded in their pots, so you only need to repot them when the growth starts to suffer. They usually only send up flower spikes once a year, however you may encourage a second flush of flowers to form more quickly if you trim back the stem to just above the first node immediately after they have finished flowering. They prefer even temperatures, so try not to have big drops at night time. Position: Bright, indirect light Soil: Specialist compost Rate of growth: Average Hardiness: Frost tender
