Phalaenopsis Flowering House Plant Picture
The Phalaenopsis or moth orchid is the most popular member of this enchanting plant family. There is good reason for this. As they do not require bright light, Moths are better suited to indoor culture than most other types of orchids. They will also bloom for months on end. In fact, they have been known to bloom themselves to death. After 4-5 months of continuous flowering, it is best to force the plant to rest if you intend to keep it. (It is a common practice to let them bloom to the point of exhaustion and then discard them.) Let Growing Orchids Indoors guide you in cultivating these endlessly fascinating plants.
