Overview

Bright yellow blooms with a subtle citrus scent make this compact orchid a standout choice for indoor spaces. The flowers have a soft lemon fragrance that becomes more noticeable in bright light, adding an extra layer of appeal.

This moth orchid is part of the Bolgheri® series and is known for its manageable size, making it perfect for windowsills, desks, or smaller shelves. The plant produces arching flower spikes with multiple blooms that appear periodically throughout the year, providing long-lasting colour.

Phalaenopsis 'Bolgheri Lemon' thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys stable, warm indoor conditions. Keep the roots just moist, allow slight drying between waterings, and avoid letting it sit in water. A bark-based specialist orchid compost works best to support healthy roots.

Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

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.

They 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. They 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.
