Common name: Moth Orchid

Orchids are a beautiful tropical plant known for their bright and intriguing blooms, as well as for their needs for specific pots, soils, and fertilizers. It's true that these plants take some time to get to know, but if you can offer them the care that they need, you'll have  a beautiful houseplant on your hands with long-lasting blooms! If you want to get crafty, you can even mount your orchid on tree bark which is the medium on which it naturally grows.

Care: Use a fertilizer specific to orchids, and if you plan to repot, do so when the blooms have died off and energy is being directed towards the root system. Your orchid is most resilient to environmental shock at this time.
