The moth orchid, Phalaenopsis, is an epiphytic plant, meaning that in the wild it grows on the surface of other plants, rather than in the soil. Plants typically bear delightful, pink, white or purple flowers. Phalaenopsis should be grown in a special bark medium rather than compost, and requires a humid atmosphere and bright, filtered light to thrive. For best results, grow in light, humid kitchens and bathrooms.
Phalaenopsis 'Black Jack' bears cascades of large, showy white flowers with hot pink splodges, and a yellow lip. Water freely, misting every day to encourage humidity and apply a feed monthly from spring to autumn. Stop watering in winter and keep the foliage dry.
