The classic grocery-store orchid, pet-safe and surprisingly easy, with arching sprays of long-lasting blooms.
The free tool tailors timing to your climate and lets you save this plant.
Bright, indirect
Bright indirect light near an east or shaded south window. Direct sun scorches the leaves; too little light means no reblooming.
About weekly; let the bark or moss dry slightly between waterings.
Not potted in soil; use coarse orchid bark or sphagnum moss so the roots get air.
A clear plastic orchid pot with lots of drainage holes, often set inside a decorative cachepot.
Every 1–2 years when the bark breaks down, ideally right after blooming.
Hard for home growers. Occasionally a keiki (baby plantlet) forms on a flower spike and can be potted up once it has roots.
Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
