The Moth Orchid brings tropical grace right onto your windowsill without asking for much in return.
The Moth Orchid is a shade-loving evergreen herb that thrives indoors as a houseplant. Native to tropical forest canopies, it grows thick, leathery leaves in neat pairs and stays between 0.3 and 0.6 meters tall. You can place it near shade-loving companion plants like Boston ferns and peace lilies to create a lush, leafy corner.
Growing this slow-grower requires a moderate level of care in a warm, humid spot shielded from harsh sunlight. It naturally lives as an epiphyte, meaning it attaches to trees rather than growing in traditional soil. During winter, it rewards your quiet patience with long, arching flower spikes that carry broad, long-lasting blooms.
Those stark white flowers feature delicate yellow and pink markings on the central lip, or labellum. The gorgeous winter blooms can even attract butterflies to your indoor spaces. Best of all, this stunning plant is entirely non-toxic to pets and humans alike.
