Phalaenopsis (Moth orchids) are so called since the flowers of some species resemble flying moths. Moth orchids are the most common orchids found in gardens and domiciles as their flower blooms can last from weeks to months. Flowers can be found in many colors; yellows, pinks white, lavender and therefore are arranged as arched sprays. Their popularity can be due to their tolerance of temperature and light conditions in the average home.

Moth orchids prefer temperatures between 55 degrees F to 85 degrees F. The afternoon and night temperature difference is very important for flowering and Moth orchids flower most readily useful at daytime temperatures of about 75 degrees F and nighttime temperatures around 60 degrees F. The optimum positioning for a Moth orchid is near an east or west facing window where the plant will get the morning and evening sun, but won't be burned in direct midday sunlight. If you're growing these orchids in a greenhouse, you will have to protect them with shade cloth. If not enough light is definitely an issue your geographical area, consider using fluorescent lights with the timer set to 10 hours lighting. orchid care need good air blood circulation and a low-speed oscillating fan, or ceiling fan, will undoubtedly be adequate.
