Product description
Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Ecuador' is a dramatic Moth Orchid variety that serves as a stunning piece of living decor. From its base of thick, lush leaves, it sends up architectural stems topped with impressive blooms. This plant can flower season-round, with the display often remaining pristine for three months, ensuring your home stays decorated for longer.
This orchid flourishes indoors in a warm, well-lit spot, away from direct mid-day sun. It is simple to care for; the key is to let the potting medium dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root issues. Cutting back the stems once the flowers have dropped will help the plant recover and prepare for new growth.
Phalaenopsis 'Ecuador' makes a wonderful centerpiece for any room, adding a touch of the exotic to bedrooms or living areas. It fits well with both modern and classic interiors and is a thoughtful gift choice, providing a long-lasting alternative to temporary cut flowers.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.

Top Tip
The flower spikes of Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Ecuador' can become heavy with large blooms. Use a stake and small clips to support the stem as it grows, preventing it from snapping under its own weight.
How to Water
Avoid the common myth of watering Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Ecuador' with ice cubes. While convenient, the freezing temperature of the melting ice can damage the tropical roots; room temperature water is always the safer choice.
How to Plant
When positioning Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Ecuador' in its pot, ensure the plant sits high enough that the base of the lower leaves is clear of the bark chips. Burying the stem too deep encourages rot at the base of the leaves.
