Rocket Farms was able to introduce orchids with a color mix that is the opposite of most growers. Instead of being 70% pink and white, Rocket Farms decided to grow 70% novelty (yellow, green, dark purple, waxy, blush, stripes, spots, harlequin, sunburst etc).

  • Water:
    4.5” Orchids in moss - Water lightly if needed every 15 to 25 days. Best if allowed to almost dry out between watering. Check the medium with your finger if you feel moisture do not water. Your orchid is potted in moss which holds moisture extremely well,
  • Light:
    Medium to Bright (indirect) light. Avoid direct sunlight, as leaves burn easily. If leaves turn yellow or splotchy, the plant is getting too much light
  • Temprature:
    Day: 68-75 degrees; Night: 65–75 degrees. Plant should have an even temperature if possible, especially when in bud. Chilly temps or draft areas can cause flowers and buds to drop.
  • Continuing Care:

    When the last flower drops, cut the stem halfway between base and top at an angle between the nodes for a possible re-bloom. If a re-bloom doesn’t happen within 45 days, cut the stem just above the crown/leaf for a new spike in Winter/Spring. During the winter months place your Phalaenopsis Orchid on the window ledge with the greatest amount of indirect sun for 45 days or till new stem begins. Orchid temp must drop to 58 to 60F to force a new flower stem. Once a new stem begins, place Orchid in normal temperatures for growing.
