Phalaenopsis Aromio Honey | Scented Orchid
moth orchid
This orchid produces golden-pink blooms with yellow centres that stand out on tall upright stems. The petals show a soft honey tone with a hint of pink, while broad green leaves, often with a light speckling, create contrast at the base.
Compact in size, it fits well on windowsills or desks and flowers last for weeks in place of a traditional bouquet. Phalaenopsis Aromio Honey is lightly fragrant, adding scent as well as colour indoors. Easy to care for, this cultivated variety suits both beginners and collectors.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Phalaenopsis Aromio Honey:
Keep the compost moist during the warmer months, but in winter you should reduce the amount it gets, and only water them occasionally. Ideally when watering, you should let them stand in a tray of water (or kitchen sink) so they can soak up as much as they like for an hour or two. Afterwards, let the excess water drain away completely. It is always best to give them a good soak when they get quite dry, rather than watering little and often. Their preference is for soft, tepid water.
Phalaenopsis love humidity, so a bright kitchen or bathroom would be ideal, and mist the leaves with water occasionally, especially if they are in a heated room.
Don't worry if the roots grow outside the pot. In their native environment, they grow in the crooks of branches, and use these aerial roots to absorb water from the air. They do not mind being overcrowded in their pots, so you only need to repot them when the growth starts to suffer.
Moth orchids will usually only send up flower spikes once a year, however you may encourage a second flush of flowers to form more quickly if you trim back the stem to just above the first node immediately after they have finished flowering.
They prefer even temperatures, so try not to have big drops at night time.
