Overview

This compact orchid stands out with rich magenta blooms edged in white, creating a bold contrast that draws attention. The flowers are large and showy, carried on shorter stems that keep the overall plant height to around 45cm (18in), making it easy to place on tables, shelves, or windowsills.

Phalaenopsis Asian Violin is ideal for smaller spaces where you still want strong colour and impact. Its long-lasting flowers bring weeks of vibrant display, while the plant itself is easy to care for, needing bright, indirect light and occasional watering, allowing the roots to dry slightly before the next drink. A striking choice for gifting or adding a splash of colour to the home.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

Care guide

Keep the compost moist during the warmer months, but in winter you should reduce the amount it gets, and only water them occasionally. Ideally when watering, you should let them stand in a tray of water (or kitchen sink) so they can soak up as much as they like for an hour or two. Afterwards, let the excess water drain away completely. It is always best to give them a good soak when they get quite dry, rather than watering little and often. Their preference is for soft, tepid water.

Phalaenopsis love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom would be ideal, and mist the leaves with water occasionally, especially if they are in a heated room.

Don't worry if the roots grow outside the pot. In their native environment, they grow in the crooks of branches, and use these aerial roots to absorb water from the air. They do not mind being overcrowded in their pots, so you only need to repot them when the growth starts to suffer.

Moth orchids will usually only send up flower spikes once a year, however you may encourage a second flush of flowers to form more quickly if you trim back the stem to just above the first node immediately after they have finished flowering.

They prefer even temperatures, so try not to have big drops at night time.
