1. How do I encourage my pink orchid to bloom again?
After flowering, trim the spike just above a node and provide consistent care—new blooms often appear within a few months.
2. Can I use decorative pots without drainage?
Yes, but only if the orchid remains in a plastic grower pot with drainage inside. Always empty excess water after watering.
3. Do I need to mist the orchid daily?
Not necessarily—mist lightly every few days or place the orchid on a humidity tray to maintain moisture levels.
4. Is it safe around pets?
Yes! Phalaenopsis orchids are non-toxic to cats and dogs, making them pet-friendly.
5. When is the best time to repot?
Repot every 1-2 years, ideally after blooming, using fresh orchid bark.
The Light Pink Phalaenopsis Orchid is a graceful and enduring plant that adds softness and beauty to any setting. Its long-lasting blooms, pet-friendly nature, and ease of care make it a wonderful choice for both everyday decor and gifting.
