Phalaenopsis Orchids

We are supplying the popular Phalaenopsis orchid Pun that is without a doubt one of the most beautiful orchids and probably the easiest to grow in the home. More than forty species occur in nature throughout the Asiatic tropics with most coming from the Philippines. A mature Phalaenopsis can be in bloom 8 to 10 months a year, producing two or more complete spikes per year. The spikes can carry thirty or more blooms, each lasting from 2 to 3 months. When the last flower has wilted, the spike can be cut back to about an inch above the second or third node (bump on the spike). A new lateral shoot will usually form from one of these nodes within a few weeks.
