Orchid 'Yellow Phalaenopsis'

Yellow Phalaenopsis Orchid 🌼✨ is loved for its elegant arching stems and cheerful buttery-yellow blooms, bringing a bright polished look to desks, tabletops, and giftable plant displays. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the flowers last longer and the leaves stay healthy without harsh sun. This plant is generally manageable once you get the watering rhythm down, but it prefers airy roots and does not like sitting wet. Pro tip: water thoroughly only when the potting mix is nearly dry and let excess water drain fully, because soggy roots are the fastest way to stress an orchid 💧.
