Product description
Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Sweden' is a refined Moth Orchid variety known for its reliable indoor performance. The plant grows from a base of glossy, succulent leaves, sending up graceful spikes adorned with charming blooms. It has a generous flowering habit and can bloom in any season, with flowers that remain fresh and vibrant for up to three months at a time.
To get the best from this orchid, position it indoors in a warm spot out of direct, harsh sun. It requires minimal fuss, asking only that you let the potting mix dry out somewhat between waterings to avoid soggy roots. Trimming the stems after the blooming phase concludes will help the plant conserve resources for future growth.
Phalaenopsis 'Sweden' is a versatile plant that adds a touch of nature to any room, be it a busy kitchen or a quiet study. Its ornamental appeal fits seamlessly into various decorative themes, and as a gift, it offers months of enjoyment compared to the short lifespan of 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
Once the flowers of Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Sweden' have faded, you can encourage a second flush of blooms by cutting the stem just above a "node" (the small bumps on the stem), rather than cutting it all the way back to the base.
How to Water
When watering Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Sweden', be extremely careful not to pour water directly into the "crown" (the central point where the leaves grow). If water sits in this cup-like structure, it causes crown rot, which will kill the plant very quickly.
How to Plant
Orchid Phalaenopsis 'Sweden' prefers to be slightly root-bound, so do not rush to move it to a larger pot. Only repot this variety every two to three years when the roots have physically pushed the plant out of the container or the bark has decomposed into mush.
