Phalaenopsis, sometimes referred to as moth orchids, is a genus of roughly 70 plant species in the Orchidaceae family. These orchids are known for long, coarse roots, short leafy stems, and long-lasting, flat blooms that form on a flowering stem that often branches near the end. In nature, many Phalaenopsis are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes—meaning they grow on trees or rocks rather than in dense soil.
Light Bright, indirect light
Place near an east window or a few feet back from a sunny window. Avoid harsh midday sun directly on the leaves.
Water Water when the medium approaches dry
Many homes land around weekly, but always adjust for your light, temperature, and humidity. Water thoroughly, then allow excess to drain—do not let the pot sit in standing water.
Humidity Moderate is ideal
If your air is very dry, place the pot on a tray with pebbles and water (keep the pot above the waterline) to increase humidity around the plant.
Temperature Keep it comfortable
Typical indoor temperatures are suitable. Avoid cold drafts and hot air vents—both can shorten blooms and stress the plant.
Live plants can look a little travel-worn after shipping. A quick reset helps them recover and bloom beautifully.
| When | What to Do | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Immediately | Unbox promptly. Remove packing materials gently around blooms and spikes. | Prevents bruising and lets the plant breathe. |
| First 2–6 hours | Place in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun the first day. | Reduces stress while it acclimates. |
| First 24 hours | Check the medium. If it’s still moist, wait before watering. | Avoids the #1 cause of orchid decline: overwatering. |
| Within 48 hours | Water only if the medium is approaching dry. Let it drain fully. | Supports recovery without suffocating roots. |

Live plants are packed with care and ship on a schedule designed to protect plant health in transit. Here’s what our packing process looks like—from soil protection to final presentation—so your plant arrives clean, stable, and ready to enjoy.
We use wood fiber to cover our soil to help prevent soil spillage.
The wood fiber is placed over the soil, right under the foliage.
We then use a plastic bag to cover the planter and wood fiber portion of the plant.
Next we secure it tightly with a zip-tie.
We place the houseplant in a paper bag and secure it with a rubber band.
The paper bag provides a clean presentation and added protection.
- Shipping regions: We ship within the lower 48 United States.
- Weather considerations: Shipments may be delayed when the team determines conditions are too cold for plants to arrive safely.
- Delivery timing: Tracking will be provided so you can track your package while it travels.
- Live arrival policy: If a plant does not have a safe arrival, please text images to 208-640-4206 along with your name and order number.

Pair it with a refined vessel and bright, indirect light—and enjoy long-lasting blooms with minimal effort.
