Use and Care Manual

• Container: Phalaenopsis will come in a plastic grower’s pot wrapped with a

burlap cover. The burlap can be used to attach the orchid to a tree if desired. If

customer chooses to grow the orchid in the plastic pot, the burlap cover can

remain on plant or can be discarded.

• Lighting: bright light is best

• Water: Weekly watering will be required. It is best to drench once a week. Be

sure to allow water to drain out completely. Avoid standing water. Select a day

of the week and always water on that same day to prevent over watering.

• Temperature: If you live in a place where the weather changes to temperatures

below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, do not allow the plant to attach to the tree. Simply

place it in a well-lit area of a covered porch or patio. You will need to bring the

plant inside to prevent cold exposure during temperatures below 50 degrees.

• Fertilizer: Water Soluble 20-10-20 is best
