Product Description
Overview
The Phalaenopsis Papagayo is a truly captivating orchid variety, known for its striking blend of colors and graceful appearance. This plant showcases broad, glossy green leaves and stunning flowers that often feature a mix of lime green, pink, and purple shades, resembling the vivid feathers of a tropical bird—hence the name “Papagayo,” meaning “parrot.” It is a hybrid that combines elegance, charm, and easy care, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced orchid lovers.
Appearance
This orchid produces large, round blooms with delicate petals that overlap beautifully, giving the flower a soft and full look. The blooms grow on long, arching stems that rise above the foliage, creating a display of color and form that lasts for several weeks. Each flower has a subtle fragrance that adds to its tropical appeal.
Light and Temperature
Phalaenopsis Papagayo thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It prefers warm temperatures during the day and slightly cooler conditions at night. Avoid placing it in harsh direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves.
Watering and Humidity
This plant enjoys moderate moisture but dislikes sitting in water. Water it once the top layer of the potting mix feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. It also appreciates a humid environment, so occasional misting or placing a humidity tray nearby helps maintain the right balance.
Care and Maintenance
Feeding the plant with a balanced orchid fertilizer every few weeks during its active growth period will encourage healthy blooms. Remove any faded flowers or dry leaves to keep it tidy. With the right care, Phalaenopsis Papagayo will reward you with vibrant blooms year after year—bringing a splash of color and calm elegance to your home.
Note: Due to transportation, the plants may become a little bit dry or drowsy.
