Choose a location with plenty of bright, indirect light; a south- or east-facing window is ideal Use an appropriate orchid growing medium, not potting soil, for the plant Water around once a week and allow the growing medium to dry out between waterings

The Phalaenopsis (Moth) is my favorite orchid to grow indoors and has blooms that can last for months. Growing phalaenopsis orchids is easy for beginners as long as you are able to mist the leaves to create humidity, locate them in bright indirect light, and plant them in a well-draining, aerated, pine bark potting mix.

To care for a phalaenopsis indoors or outdoors, grow the moth orchid in bright light, protected from direct sunlight. Plant the phal orchid in a loose, bark-based potting mix that gives the roots plenty of air. Water often enough to keep the orchid mix damp.
