Mini Phalaenopsis
BeginnerA compact Phalaenopsis perfect for tabletop display, popular as gifts.
About
Miniature Phalaenopsis hybrids are compact cultivar groups growing 10–20 cm tall, bred to fit tabletop and small-space display. The smaller flowers, 3–6 cm across, are produced on branching inflorescences bearing ten to thirty blooms in a wide range of colors. Flower longevity is exceptional, lasting two to four months. Care mirrors that of standard Phalaenopsis: bright indirect light, temperatures of 18–28°C (minimum 15°C), and a bark or sphagnum medium watered when roots turn silvery-white. Their compact size, long bloom duration, and availability in many colors make them perennially popular as gifts.
