Phalaenopsis Miniature Yellow-Pink
A miniature version of the classic Yellow-Pink phalaenopsis, these petite blooms are less intrusive and are able to be placed just about anywhere. Unique in size and long lasting, the flowers will stay in bloom for up to six weeks. They are a playful and unique addition to any room.
Flowering
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
Phalaenopsis produces flowers that last about three months (sometimes even longer) at any time of the year. Once the flowers have faded, cut the flowering stalk back to just above the second node (joint) visible beneath the spent flowers. A new flowering side shoot may develop.
Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
Sometimes small plantlets (keiki) appear from the nodes on the flower stems. Detach the plantlets when they have developed several good roots and pot them up in orchid compost. Water them sparingly at first, but mist them daily. Always use a proprietary orchid compost. Ensure good light levels in winter, as these are essential to encourage flowering. An east- or west-facing window would be ideal. Move to a shadier spot in summer and protect from direct sunshine.
