Product description
Orchid Phalaenopsis Multi Merida, also commonly known as a variety of Moth Orchid, is a beautifully unique indoor plant. Large, waxy, green leaves grow from the bottom of the plant, while flowers grow atop tall, elegant stems. Orchid flowers are incredibly exotic looking, and this variety boasts delicate, purple blooms. This orchid can flower at any time of the year, and when it does, flowers last for a long period of up to three months.
This orchid plant will grow best indoors, in a warm and bright spot. Orchids are incredibly easy to care for as long as they are not overwatered, as they will not tolerate sitting in waterlogged soil. Keep this plant warm, and only water occasionally for best results. Prune the stems after the flowerheads have died to keep the plant healthy and encourage new growth.
Orchids are great for so many rooms in the home, or they’d make a fabulous gift for all occasions. Exotic flowers can add an eye-catching, ornamental touch to living rooms, bedrooms, and offices in a more elegant way than some larger house plants. They are also great gifts for plant lovers, or as a long-lasting alternative to flower bouquets.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Feed your orchid with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every two weeks during the growing season. Prune faded flower spikes just above a visible node to encourage a second bloom. Orchids thrive in a stable environment, so avoid placing them near drafts, radiators, or direct sunlight to keep them healthy and flowering for longer.
How to Water
Water orchids sparingly, allowing the compost to dry out slightly between waterings. Most orchids thrive on a once-weekly watering schedule, but adjust based on the room temperature and humidity. Use tepid rainwater or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup, as tap water can harm the roots. Avoid soaking the crown of the plant, as this can lead to rot. Always ensure the pot drains well to prevent waterlogging.
How to Plant
To plant orchids, select a shallow pot with excellent drainage and use a specialised orchid compost made of bark or moss to allow airflow around the roots. Gently remove the orchid from its original pot and place it in the new container, ensuring the roots are not overcrowded and the base of the plant is above the compost. Avoid covering the base of the plant with soil. Water lightly after planting to settle the roots and position the pot in bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth.
