Why You'll Love It

The peloric butterfly mutation gives every bloom a unique, symmetrical appearance unlike standard Phalaenopsis orchids. The fresh yellow colouring combined with its unusual flower form makes Horning Moore a true statement plant that attracts attention wherever it is displayed.

Healthy mature plants can produce multiple flower spikes and often rebloom year after year with the correct care.

Care Tips

Provide bright, filtered light and avoid direct midday sun. Water only when the roots become silver, allowing excess water to drain freely. Maintain warm temperatures and moderate humidity, and feed regularly with orchid fertiliser during active growth. Avoid cutting green flower spikes, as Phalaenopsis orchids can often produce additional blooms from existing spikes.

Packaging & Delivery

Your orchid will be professionally packed using specialist orchid packaging to ensure it arrives safely. During colder months we include heat packs whenever necessary to protect your plant in transit.

Important Information
