Plant description
A striking moth orchid with cascading blooms that emulate a dramatic waterfall effect. Each flower features white petals beautifully speckled and veined with rich pink-purple tones, centred with a warm yellow lip. The arching stems rise gracefully from a base of broad, glossy green leaves. Ideal for bright rooms, it thrives in steady warmth and indirect light.
The long-lasting flowers make it perfect for display on tables, windowsills, or as a focal point in modern interiors. Phalaenopsis Formidablo Iguaza Falls combines elegance with long-flowering potential, rewarding regular care with months of colour, making it an ideal gift in place of shorter flowering interest bouquets.
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 Formidablo Iguaza Falls:
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.

Which house plant where?
Which house plants you choose should depend on the environment you intend to keep them in, the space available, how much time you can spend preening them as well as your personal preference. For me, foliage house plants are the ticket, because they provid
