Buying an orchid for the home should be a pleasurable experience. If you are a first-time orchid buyer, its best to chose easy to grow orchid varieties. Take the extra time to select the orchid plant that will suit your lifestyle. Ensure that whichever orchid you chose it should be healthy, and you should make sure you have the right information as it relates to the proper care for your cattleya orchids.
While it is true that some flowers can be fussy and difficult to grow successfully, Phal Flowers are easy for even the beginning indoor gardener to handle. These flowers can grow quite large and can be two feet in both height and breadth. The flower sprays produced to make a spectacular display that can last for months as long as the flowers remain unfertilized and undamaged. This kind of orchid has no pseudobulb.
There are only two basic 'types' of orchid, terrestrial and epiphytes. Terrestrial flowers grow in the ground while epiphytes grow on trees. Both are popular and are chosen less by types and more by how easy they are to grow, their availability or their cost. Rare flowers can fetch enormous sums for the obsessed collector.
The Cymbidium is also another popular type which is sometimes used as a corsage. However, this orchid does not grow inside all year round like the moth orchid. These type of flowers are long lasting and are famous for their range of colors, usually red, cream, white, pink, brown, orange, yellow and green.
Temperature is as important to Moth Flowers as it is to all varieties. They can only grow and thrive in a fairly narrow temperature window. Moth Flowers do not like temperatures lower than 60 degrees F, or higher than 85. They will not be able to tolerate temperatures lower than 60 for very long, so care should be taken during a northern winter to protect them from the cold. The room temperature should be kept on the warm side when the orchid is developing buds or flowering.
Phalaenopsis Orchid (Moth Orchid)- The Phalaenopsis orchid is another very popular species of orchid with its beautiful purple flowers and its frequency of blooming throughout the year. It is also known as the Moth orchid because its leaves can be likened to a moth's wings in flight.
Most homes will probably have several different types of environments to grow flowers. Choose the right orchid that will thrive in the location you want to keep your orchid. If you receive the orchid as a gift, select the most suitable location in your home for it to grow.
Moth Orchids come in a range of colors from white through pink and purple. Some of them have white accented with another color, and some, particularly the peach colored Phals, are spotted. White Moth Orchids can either be pure white, or come with dashes and splashes of pink or fuschia. It would be hard to find an easier and more beautiful orchid to grow.
