Our best-selling potted phalaenopsis (fayl-eh-NOP-sis) or “moth” orchids are the most popular commercial orchid, thanks to their simple elegance and graceful stems with exceptionally long-lasting blooms. They are principally available in white and lavender, as well as soft yellows, dusty pinks, and an array of spotted and dotted flower faces.

Nicknamed for their resemblance to flying moths, phalaenopsis may look delicate but are easy to care for. In their native Asian tropics, they thrive in the warm, bright, humid forest canopies – a climate that is easily simulated in your home.

We grow our phalaenopsis in 5-inch and 3-inch pots. The former are sourced from breeders in the Netherlands and grown in bark. We focus on varieties with taller spikes and larger flowers that have that classic phalaenopsis look. The 3-inch plants, from our partners in Taiwan, are grown in sphagnum moss. These more compact varieties, with an abundance of color, are ideal for desktops and other smaller spaces.
