Phalaenopsis orchids are native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, in countries such as China and India, and therefore like a warm and humid environment. They are epiphytic plants in their natural habitat, meaning they grow on tree trunks or rock formations, rather than growing directly in the soil like most plants.
Phalaenopsis orchids have a long flowering period and are known for their delicate flowers that can come in a variety of colors. After a flowering cycle, the flowers wither and fall off. This often fools the less experienced, who think that the plant has died. However, the orchid is still alive and, under ideal light, humidity and temperature conditions, will bloom again quickly.
