Moth Orchid

Phalaenopsis amabilis

Moth Orchid

Bring elegant, long-lasting tropical blooms right into your living room.

The Moth Orchid is an evergreen indoor plant with thick, dark green leaves that grow in pairs. Native to warm tropical forest canopies, this plant sits happily in shaded indoor spots away from direct sun. It grows slowly, reaching up to two feet tall, making it a great companion for peace lilies and ferns.

Growing this orchid requires a moderate touch, as it thrives in warm, humid conditions with partial to full shade. It produces long, arching flower spikes that bloom during the winter months. New plants can be started through division, though the existing flowers will naturally last a long time.

These lovely white blooms feature delicate yellow and pink markings that draw the eye and attract butterflies. Best of all, the plant is completely non-toxic to pets and humans, giving you total peace of mind. It brings a touch of wild canopy beauty to any bright, humid room.
