Phalaenopsis aphrodite, colloquially known as aphrodite's phalaenopsis or goddess of fertility, is an orchid species native to southeast Asia. Aphrodite's phalaenopsis is commonly mistaken for moon orchid (Phalaenopsis amabilis), as both have white flowers. However, Phalaenopsis aphrodite has smaller flowers and calyx with four horns compared to Phalaenopsis amabilis which has two-horned calyxes. In addition, they are affordable for beginners and a great option to give as gifts.
Size: They can grow between 8 to 36 inches.
Water: Because of the smaller pot size, often times they will require less water than a traditional phal. We suggest that you water once weekly, making sure the pot drains entirely through the drainage holes. If you keep the plant indoors, you may need to lightly mist your mini to add humidity. Or, you can place the orchid pot in a container of water and pebbles making sure the pot is sitting on top of the rocks and not directly in the water.
Temperature: Your orchid will enjoy the same temperatures that you do in your home. Keep your plant in a location that ranges between 65 and 80° F.
Light: Place your orchid in a bright location but avoid direct sunlight which may burn the leaves. Typically, southern or eastern facing windows are best.
Plant Food: Use a water soluble, balanced plant food designed for orchids. Follow the care instructions on the label.
Bloom: These are excellent houseplants, producing spikes of spectacular blooms in winter or spring that last for months.
