Phalaenopsis 'Gold Staff'

Moth orchids, Phalaenopsis, are epiphytic plants, meaning that in the wild they grow on the surface of other plants, rather than in the soil. They bear delightful, pink, white or purple flowers. Phalaenopsis should be grown in a special bark medium rather than compost, and require a humid atmosphere and bright, filtered light to thrive. They tend to perform best when grown in light, humid kitchens and bathrooms.

Phalaenopsis 'Gold Staff' bears cascades of large, showy yellow flowers, striped with pink. For best results water freely, mist every day to encourage humidity and feed once a month from spring to autumn. Stop watering in winter and keep the foliage dry.
