Planting & Sowing Instructions:
-
Prepare the Growing Medium: Begin by using a high-quality orchid potting mix or a specialized medium that retains moisture yet drains well.

Surface Sowing: Lightly sprinkle the Phalaenopsis orchid seeds on the surface of the moist growing medium. These seeds need light to germinate, so avoid burying them.
-
Humidity and Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C). A warm, humid environment is essential for successful germination. A humidity dome or clear plastic covering can help retain moisture.
-
Watering: Keep the seeds moist but not soggy. Mist the surface regularly with water, or use a gentle watering method to avoid disturbing the seeds.
-
Germination Period: After sowing, expect the seeds to germinate in 4-8 weeks. During this time, avoid exposing them to direct sunlight.
-
Transplanting: Once the seedlings have matured enough and have developed a strong root system, transplant them into individual orchid pots. Continue to care for them in a well-lit, humid environment to encourage blooming.
-
Care for Mature Plants: Phalaenopsis orchids thrive in bright, indirect light and require regular watering, allowing the soil to dry between waterings.
