Hailing from the tropical regions of Asia and Australia, Yellow Phalaenopsis Orchid graces indoor spaces with its exotic charm. Renowned as Moth Orchids, these plants stand out for their elegant and intricate blooms, resembling delicate moths in flight. The captivating allure of these flowers adds a touch of elegance to any setting.
Delicate flower stalks emerge gracefully from smooth, green leaves, bearing multiple buds that would last a month or more. This plant also has arching branches that elegantly showcase its delicate flowers. This Yellow Phalaenopsis Orchid has yellow flowers with soft yellow petals and purple centers.
The stems of Phalaenopsis Orchids contribute to their overall aesthetic, showcasing an arching form that creates a sense of movement and elegance. Emerging from leaf joints, these stems enhance the orchid's unique and captivating appearance.
Phalaenopsis are "monopodial" orchids, indicating that they grow from a single stem. Unlike sympodial (or branching) orchids with large water-storing pseudobulbs, Phalaenopsis orchids lack these structures and hence need to be watered more regularly.
This listing is for a Yellow Phalaenopsis Orchid plant with a single flower spike.
Place your orchid in bright, indirect sunlight, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent potential scorching of delicate petals. Periodically turn your orchid to ensure uniform growth. Adequate lighting will yield light green leaves. Insufficient light leads to dark green leaves, while excessive light can cause a pink or reddish hue along the leaf margins, ultimately turning yellow.
Maintain a comfortable temperature range between 65-75°F during the day and slightly cooler at night (around 55°F), avoiding sudden temperature changes.
Water the orchid when the top inch of the potting mix feels dry, ensuring thorough watering and avoiding waterlogging.
Use a well-draining ready-made orchid potting mix or create your mix with orchid bark, sphagnum moss, perlite, and charcoal to prevent water accumulation around the roots.
Feed the orchid with a balanced orchid fertilizer during the growing season, following package instructions for dilution and frequency. Reduce fertilization during the dormant period.
Trim spent flowers and yellowing leaves with sterile scissors, being cautious not to damage healthy parts of the plant.
While these orchids are generally considered non-toxic, exercise caution to prevent ingestion by humans and pets.

Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grown in, depending on availability or time of year.
Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered
light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do
NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour
off any excess water after a few minutes.
The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot
area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended
periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
