Where Is the Best Place to Put a Phalaenopsis Orchid? A Full Guide to Placement and Watering

When growing a Phalaenopsis orchid, try to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible, and place it in a bright room behind a curtain. When watering, wait until the water in the original pot has dried out before watering again. In addition, be careful to avoid direct air-conditioning airflow. If you cut off the lower part of the flower stem, it will grow again; after the flowers fade, cut the flower stem from the base of the stem upward at the 4-5th node. If the plant itself is in good condition, in about three months the flower stem will grow out from the cut, and beautiful flowers will bloom again. Winter placement: place it in as warm a spot as possible, but not too close to the direct vent of a heater. Watering: Phalaenopsis orchids are more tolerant of dryness than other plants, so keep the pot as dry as possible and water once a week. Spring-autumn placement: place it in a well-ventilated spot as much as possible. However, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Watering: when watering, be sure to wait until the middle part has dried out before watering (water as generously as possible).
