Common name: Moth Orchid ‘Angela Eyes’
Latin name: Phalaenopsis ‘Angela Eyes’
Best position in the home: Prefers bright, indirect light. A spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal, but avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves. Thrives in warm, stable environments such as living rooms or bedrooms, away from draughts.
Water requirements: Water around once a week, allowing the compost to dry slightly between waterings. It’s best to water in the morning and let excess drain away fully. Reduce watering in winter. Prefers moderate humidity but does not like sitting in water.
Home impact: With its elegant, long-lasting blooms often featuring delicate markings, this orchid adds a refined and calming presence to any room. While not a strong air purifier, it enhances wellbeing through its beauty. Generally considered non-toxic, making it suitable for homes with pets.
Potential height at full growth: Typically reaches around 30–60cm in height when in flower, depending on the plant and flower spikes.
How to look after it: Place in bright, indirect light and keep in a warm room with consistent temperatures. Water weekly, ensuring good drainage and avoiding water sitting in the crown. Feed with a specialist orchid fertiliser every couple of weeks during the growing season. After flowering, cut the spike above a node to encourage potential reblooming. Repot every 1–2 years using orchid bark.
Beginner friendliness 3/5
Confident Beginner! One of the easiest orchids to care for, but still benefits from a little understanding of watering and feeding. With the right routine, it’s very rewarding.
Phalaenopsis orchids can flower for several months at a time, and may rebloom year after year with good care. Avoid getting water trapped in the centre of the plant, as this can lead to rot.
