Product description
Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Frederikstad', a charming variety of Moth Orchid, is a delightful plant for the home. It grows with large, glossy green leaves at the base, supporting elegant stems of beautiful flowers. This plant can bloom at any time of year, and the flowers endure for up to three months, adding a lasting floral touch to your environment.
This plant prefers a warm indoor environment with bright but indirect light. It is easy to look after, provided you follow a "soak and dry" watering routine—letting the medium dry slightly before watering again. Trimming the stems after flowering helps maintain the plant's vigour and encourages new growth cycles.
Phalaenopsis 'Frederikstad' is an excellent choice for adding elegance to any room, be it a bedroom or a study. Its ornamental beauty suits many decor styles, and it is also perfect as a thoughtful gift, offering a long-lasting alternative to traditional 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.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Do not place Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Frederikstad' near a fruit bowl. Ripening fruits like bananas release ethylene gas, which triggers the orchid to drop its flowers prematurely.
How to Water
Use the "finger test" for Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Frederikstad'. Push your finger an inch into the bark medium; if it feels damp, wait another few days. Only water when the subsurface feels dry to the touch.
How to Plant
Be gentle when repotting Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Frederikstad'. The roots can be quite brittle; soaking the plant for ten minutes before removing it from the old pot makes the roots more pliable and less likely to snap during the process.
