Origin
The Phalaenopsis exclusive mix, also known as the Butterfly Orchid, has its origin in tropical Asia. These plants can primarily be found in the wild nature of the Philippines and Indonesia. Due to selective breeding and crossing, most Phalaenopsis species now come from cultivation.
Characteristics
The Phalaenopsis exclusive mix is characterised by its elegant and exotic appearance. The flowers of this plant vary in colour: from white, pink and purple to two-tone flowers. The flowers can bloom for up to 3 months, making it a long-blooming plant. The leaves are thick and shiny and often have a deep green colour.
Care
The Phalaenopsis exclusive mix requires special care. The plant thrives best in a spot out of direct sunlight, but with enough daylight. It is recommended to water the plant once a week, but the root ball should never become waterlogged. The optimal room temperature for this plant lies between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Periodic fertilisation, especially during the growth and flowering period, contributes to the health and bloom of the plant.
