Phalaenopsis in Los Angeles East Window: Ideal Location, Keiki Caution

Follow-up: You're in Los Angeles with the plant in an east window. Perfect—early morning direct sun, bright shade the rest of the day.

Keiki Warning

If you pot the mother in a smaller container, she may sacrifice her health to support the keiki (baby on the spike). Watch for increasing leaf creasing on the mother—if she declines, you may need to choose between them.

Next Steps

Once the plant recovers, place it near the east window. Monitor both mother and keiki.
