Meet the Purple Orchid—a beginner-friendly Phalaenopsis orchid with vivid purple blooms edged in white. Phalaenopsis orchids typically bloom about once a year for up to three months. Upon delivery, you may notice a few buds on your orchid; these blooms will open quicker in a warm indoor setting. After a blooming cycle, the flowers will wilt and fall off, allowing the orchid to store energy to re-bloom again next season. Add bonus: Phalaenopsis orchids are non-toxic, making them a great gift plant and pet lovers.

Care Guide
Purple OrchidIndia, China, Southeast Asia
Plant Care
Thrives in bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium indirect light. Direct sun tolerance is species dependant.
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing potting medium to dry out between waterings. If kept in decorative, cache planter, pour out excess water after watering. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity.
This is a pet friendly plant.
Most Orchids are epiphytes fond of tight quarters. Keeping them in their grow pots keeps roots compact, and provides drainage and air circulation.
