Phalaenopsis amabilis: Beginner Care Guide

Initial Care (In Bloom)

• Water weekly.
• East window (morning sun).
• Window open for air (close if <50°F).

Post-Bloom & Annual Repotting

1. Wait until last flower drops.
2. Soak orchid mix, unpot, rinse roots, cut mushy ones.
3. Repot in plastic pot with drainage.
4. Water weekly, feed ¼ tsp/gal every other week.

No rest period—continuous growth. Repotting temporarily disturbs roots, so time it after bloom.
