All About Orchids
The Phalaenopsis orchid is one of the easiest varieties to grow as a houseplant.
These hearty orchids are highly adaptable to indoor conditions and do great in average room temperatures and humidity levels. Often called “moth orchids,” this is a forgiving, pet-friendly variety that's great for beginners and the more experienced orchid keeper alike.
SUSTAINABLE: All of our orchids are sustainably grown in the United States at a family-owned nursery that has earned an MPS-A certification — the highest possible grade — for environmental stewardship and quality.
HAND-PICKED: Every single orchid we ship is hand-selected from the greenhouse floor at the exact stage of growth in order to ensure it arrives vibrant, healthy and ready to put on a show. Our orchids should bloom for about six weeks... but that's not the end!
RE-BLOOMING: Phalaenopsis orchids bloom for 4 to 6 weeks at a time. But the plant isn’t “dead” once the flowers fade! Once the blooms are done, the plant goes dormant while it builds strength and prepares for its next bloom cycle.

Orchid Care FAQs
Collapsible content
How long does an orchid live?
When properly cared for, orchids live several years. The Phalaenopsis orchid can bloom for several months. If the orchid does not die once it stops blooming, the plant can start blooming again. The orchid's main structure keeps the plant alive, so it’s essential to provide support and ideal conditions.
How often should orchids be watered?
Most orchids need the same watering routine. In the winter, they only need water once per week. As the weather warms, they need water twice per week. An orchid in a larger pot will need water less frequently than an orchid in a smaller pot. Pay attention to the moss around your orchid. When it dries, your orchid needs water.
How to keep orchids blooming?
Phalaenopsis orchids need to be out of direct sunlight so the sun's heat does not scorch their delicate leaves. Orchids also need temperature variations, with cooler temperatures at night. They also need fertilizer and a pot large enough for aeration.
What is so special about orchids?
Orchids are elegant flowers with a unique asymmetrical design. While they look like complicated flowers to care for, they are easy to keep alive and thriving. Some orchids only bloom for a short time, so their limited flowering time makes them special to those who enjoy them.
People who live in chilly climates, but vacation in tropical ones, tend to consider orchids pleasant reminders of their time away from home. Whatever the reason, orchids tend to bring a sense of joy to the spaces they occupy.
