Common name: Moth Orchid ‘Triple Stem Marrakesh’
Latin name: Phalaenopsis ‘Marrakesh’
Best position in the home: Prefers bright, indirect light. An east or west-facing windowsill is ideal, where it can enjoy gentle morning or afternoon light without being exposed to harsh midday sun. Keep away from radiators, cold draughts, and sudden temperature changes for best results.
Water requirements: Water around once a week, allowing the growing medium to dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly, letting excess drain away completely, and avoid water collecting in the crown. Reduce watering in cooler months. Enjoys moderate humidity but dislikes sitting in soggy conditions.
Home impact: A real showstopper, the ‘Marrakesh’ variety brings warm, exotic tones to your space, often featuring rich, sunset-inspired hues. With three flowering stems, it creates a lush, full display that instantly elevates any room. Ideal for adding a touch of elegance and calm. Non-toxic and pet-friendly, making it a safe and stylish choice for most homes.
Potential height at full growth: Typically reaches around 40–70cm in height when in flower, with multiple stems creating a fuller, more dramatic presence.
How to look after it: Position in bright, indirect light and maintain a warm, stable environment. Water weekly with good drainage, ensuring no water sits in the crown. Feed with a specialist orchid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during the growing season. After flowering, trim stems just above a node to encourage future blooms. Repot every 1–2 years using orchid bark to keep roots healthy.
Beginner friendliness 3/5
Confident Beginner! A great introduction to orchids. While it appreciates a bit of routine, it’s forgiving and rewards care with long-lasting, repeat blooms.
The triple stem structure delivers a fuller, more luxurious floral display, with blooms that can last for several months. With consistent care, it can rebloom year after year, becoming a long-term favourite in your home.
