Also known as moth orchid, the pet-friendly Phalaenopsis orchid is one of the most popluar and easiest variety of orchids to grow as a houseplant. Moth orchids typically bloom once every year. Phalaenopsis orchid blooms typically last 2 to 3 months with proper care. Some may even last longer under ideal conditions, making them a long-lasting and stunning addition to your home or a thoughtful gift.
After each blooming cycle, its flowers will naturally wilt and fall off. No worries though as this is its way to store up energy to re-bloom again.
