FAQ

White Plains Orchids is a family operated orchid nursery. Founders Alex & Sylvia have over 30 years of orchid growing experience importing Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Cattleya, Oncidium, Miltonia (and more!) plantlings and raising them in their greenhouses in White Plains, NY. Humidity, temperature, water, and light are carefully monitored to produce hardy & healthy plants that will flower year after year without the need for artificial stressors like ice or dyes.

How do I care for my Phalaenopsis orchid?

While still flowering, keep the sphagnum moss mostly moist by soaking but allow it dry between waterings. Fully bloomed plants only need water every 10 to 14 days.
These indoor plants need bright light while avoiding direct sun. The temperature should be between 55°F and 85°F. We do not recommend watering orchids with ice.
