Orchid not in bloom.

Bare root

 

The Phalaenopsis equestris is a charming small species orchid from the Philippines and Taiwan, prized for its long-lasting, branching flower spikes that can bloom for years without cutting. It's one of the easiest orchids to grow — thriving in normal home temperatures (20-25°C days, 17-20°C nights) and flowering repeatedly from spring through winter. Unlike many orchids, its spikes rebloom from the same stem for several years, and it readily produces keiki (baby plants) on old spikes — perfect for sharing with friends. Grow in bright indirect light (east or west window) in open bark mix, watering when roots turn silvery. Avoid water in the leaf crown, and you'll enjoy this tough, free-flowering orchid for years.
