Everything you need to know about Pink-violet Phalaenopsis orchid 'Bora Bora' (Phalaenopsis) – 9 cm pot
How long does the Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' bloom last?
Under good conditions (bright indirect light, appropriate watering, and a stable temperature between 18 and 24°C), the Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' can keep its blooms for two to four months. Avoid drafts, direct sunlight, and standing water to maximize the flowers' lifespan. Once the flowers have fallen, the plant can easily bloom again with a few simple care steps.
How to properly water my Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora'?
The recommended method isbottom watering: place the grow pot in a container filled with room-temperature water for 15 to 20 minutes, every 7 to 10 days. Then let it drain completely before replacing the plant. Never let water sit in the saucer or at the bottom of a decorative pot: this quickly causes root rot, which is the main cause of death for the Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora'. In winter, reduce the frequency to watering about every two weeks.
Is the Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' toxic to animals?
Good news for families with pets: the Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' is classified as non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). You can therefore place it in your home without worrying about the safety of your four-legged companions. However, make sure to prevent your pets from chewing on the roots or leaves, as this could damage the plant.
How can I get my Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' to bloom again?
Once flowering is finished, prune the flower spike just above a node visible on the green stem. A new flower spike can then develop from this point in the following weeks. If the spike is completely dry and brown, cut it off at the base. To trigger reblooming, expose your Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' to a temperature difference of 5 to 8 °C between day and night in autumn. Continue to fertilize regularly with a special orchid fertilizer.
What light conditions should I choose for the Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora'?
The Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' needs bright but always indirect light. Place it near an east- or north-facing window, or set back from a south- or west-facing window, protected by a sheer curtain. Direct sunlight quickly burns the leaves and can damage the aerial roots. In insufficient light, the plant becomes leggy and does not rebloom. Also avoid dark areas, cold drafts, and direct proximity to radiators.
In what potting mix should Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' be grown?
The Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' must be grown in a special orchid potting mix, consisting mainly of coarse pine bark. This potting mix ensures excellent air circulation around the roots, which need to dry out between waterings. Never use regular potting soil, which retains too much moisture and promotes rot. Repot every two years in spring in a slightly larger pot, removing the old potting mix and damaged roots.
What size pot comes with the Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' upon delivery?
Your Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' is delivered in a 9 cm grower's pot, the standard size for orchids in this range. This clear or opaque pot is designed to promote drainage and prevent water from stagnating. If you wish to place it in a decorative pot, make sure that the latter does not retain water after watering, and always remove the grower's pot for soaking before placing it back, well drained.
The essentials about Pink-violet Phalaenopsis orchid 'Bora Bora' (Phalaenopsis) – 9 cm pot
The Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' Orchid: a Spectacular Pink-Purple Bloom
ThePhalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' Orchid is one of the most sought-after varieties right now. Its large pink-purple flowers, arranged in a graceful arch on long flower spikes, create an immediate and sophisticated visual effect. Unlike many flowering plants, it maintains its bloom for two to four months under good conditions, making it a particularly rewarding and generous purchase. Carefully grown by our specialized partner growers, it arrives at your home in excellent condition, ready to brighten up your space.
Where should you place your Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' Orchid in your home?
The secret to a happy orchid lies primarily in its location. Place your Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' near an east- or north-facing window, or slightly back from a south- or west-facing window, behind a sheer curtain. It needs bright but always indirect light: direct sunlight will irreparably burn its leaves and aerial roots. Humidity between 50 and 70% will be beneficial; in very dry interiors, a tray of moistened clay pebbles placed nearby (without touching the pot) will make all the difference. Avoid cold drafts and proximity to radiators.
How do you water and care for your Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' Orchid?
Watering by soaking is the recommended method: immerse the 9 cm pot in a container of room-temperature water for 15 to 20 minutes, approximately every 7 to 10 days. Then let it drain completely before placing the pot back down, never leaving standing water at the bottom of a saucer or decorative pot. Excess water is the leading cause of orchid mortality. Light fertilization with a special liquid orchid fertilizer every 15 days during the growing season will support the vigor and brilliance of the flowers.
Reblooming the Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora' Orchid: how to encourage it?
Once the bloom is over, do not throw away your Phalaenopsis 'Bora Bora': it is perfectly capable of blooming again! Cut the flower spike just above a visible bud (node) on the green stem. In a few weeks, a new flower stem can develop from this point. If the spike has turned yellow or dried out, cut it off at the base. A slight temperature difference between day and night (about 5 to 8°C) in autumn also helps trigger a new bloom.
