Top 5 tips to grow your Polychilos Phalaenopsis
Polychilos are tropical Phalaenopsis, very different from your everyday moth orchid. They’re part of a unique breeding line, and when purchased from a registered nursery, their genetic lineage can be traced. If you’re unsure whether you have one, look for their telltale traits: a short stem, 2–3 blooms, and a star-shaped flower known as the ‘Summer Star’ Phalaenopsis—true to its name, it blossoms in the summer!
Reasons your Phalaenopsis isn’t reflowering — and how to fix it 🌸✨
Many beginner orchid growers have no trouble loving their plants—the real challenge is getting them to bloom again. Once the flowers fade and the spikes are cut back, it becomes a waiting game. What most don’t realize is that reblooming isn’t a matter of luck. Orchids will flower again when they’re healthy and grown similar to the environmental cues they’d experience in nature!
