About & Sizing

About The Prism Rose Kaleidoscope Orchid

Deep magenta speckles cover the glowing fuchsia petals of this Prism Rose Kaleidoscope Orchid. Each bloom is dappled with its own striking pattern, bringing a playful burst of pink to every collection.

These orchids gets their signature look through a special process where a safe, non-toxic dye is carefully infused into the stem, creating those stunning, gradient petals reminiscent of a kaleidoscope. The dye causes no harm, though please note that when this plant re-blooms, it’ll be its natural white color.

Care Guide

Watering Requirements

Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing potting mix to dry out between waterings. If dropped into a decorative, cache planter, pour out excess water 5-10 minutes after watering. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Sunlight Requirements

Thrives in bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium indirect light

Humidity Requirements

While they can tolerate normal room humidity, Phalaenopsis orchids do not like dry air, so try to keep humidity anywhere from 40–70%. During the fall or winter, you can help to boost humidity with a humidifier.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

After the last flower has fallen, if the bloom stalks are still healthy, cut the stem back to a node (where there is a little flap of tissue). With a few weeks of good care, a new bloom stalk might emerge from that node and provide a small flush of blooms that last another 2-3 months!

How do you extend the blooming cycle of a Phalaenopsis Orchid?

Unlike most houseplants, you cannot propagate a Phalaenopsis Orchid from a leaf or stem cutting. Instead, they are propagated via a keiki, a genetically identical baby plantlet that occasionally sprouts from a node on a flower spike. Once the keiki grows at least three leaves and several two-inch roots, you can carefully snip and pot it separately.

Repot pot-bound orchids after they finish blooming. If you must repot an actively flowering orchid, handle the roots with extreme care to prevent the blossoms from dropping prematurely.

When is the best time to repot a Phalaenopsis Orchid?

Repot pot-bound orchids after they finish blooming. If you must repot an actively flowering orchid, handle the roots with extreme care to prevent the blossoms from dropping prematurely.

Aside from the proper environment and fertilizing, you can try to encourage the next blooming cycle by exposing the orchid to a temporary temperature drop for a few weeks. Placing the plant in a spot that drops to around 55°F to 60°F at night (like near a cool window) signals the orchid to kickstart its next flowering cycle.
