Phalaenopsis Orchid Care: Light, Water, Repotting, and Blooming

Phalaenopsis are popular, easy orchids with 3–4 month blooms. Bright indirect light (no direct sun). East window = morning sun (good); west window = afternoon sun (okay if not direct). High humidity, but avoid wet foliage. Water by weight: after thorough watering, note heaviness; don't water again until pot feels much lighter and soil surface pale.

Repotting

Can repot into same-size/shape decorative pot anytime—even in bloom—as long as size/shape unchanged. Use orchid mix. Measure pot before shopping.

Blooming

Flowers last months. After bloom, cut spike above a node for possible rebloom, or cut to base. Continue care.
