Product description
Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Morelia' is a captivating Moth Orchid variety designed for indoor living. It is characterized by its sturdy, dark green leaves and arching stems that showcase vibrant, long-lasting blossoms. This plant has the ability to flower throughout the year, with individual blooms lasting up to three months, providing a continuous splash of colour.

Top Tip
Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Morelia' thrives in high humidity. Place the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and a little water—ensuring the pot sits on the pebbles, not in the water—to create a humid microclimate around the leaves.
How to Water
You can judge if Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Morelia' needs watering by lifting the pot. If it feels heavy, there is still moisture in the bark; if it feels surprisingly light, the medium is dry, and the plant is ready for a thorough watering.
How to Plant
Never use standard garden soil or general-purpose compost for Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Morelia'. These heavy soils retain too much water and lack the airflow required; always stick to a specialized epiphytic mix consisting of bark, charcoal, and perlite.
