Top Tip
Dust can accumulate quickly on the broad leaves of Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Alaska', blocking sunlight. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth once a week to ensure the plant can photosynthesize efficiently and maintain its energy for blooming.
How to Water
Aim to water Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Alaska' in the morning hours. This ensures that any accidental splashes on the foliage have the entire day to evaporate, significantly reducing the risk of fungal infections that thrive in cool, damp conditions at night.
How to Plant
When potting Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Alaska', it is crucial to use a coarse potting medium like chunky pine bark and avoid compacting it. These plants need significant air pockets around their root systems to breathe, and packing the medium too tightly can suffocate the plant.
