Why You'll Love It
Phalaenopsis amboinensis 'Round Mark' is a collector's favourite thanks to its exceptionally rounded flowers and striking tiger-striped pattern. Unlike many hybrid Phalaenopsis, this species flowers repeatedly from the same spike over successive seasons, providing an exceptionally long flowering period once mature.
Its compact size makes it ideal for windowsills and orchid displays, while its sweet fragrance and unusual markings ensure it stands out in any collection.
Care Tips
Provide bright, filtered light, warm temperatures and good humidity. Water thoroughly when the roots become silver, allowing excess water to drain away completely. Feed every two to three weeks with a balanced orchid fertiliser during active growth. Do not cut healthy green flower spikes after flowering, as this species naturally continues to bloom from existing spikes.
Packaging & Delivery
Your orchid will be carefully packed using specialist orchid packaging to ensure it arrives safely. Heat packs are included during colder months whenever required to protect your plant during transit.
