How to recognise it

Flat, wide-open flat-faced bloom with rounded overlapping petals and sepals
Broad lip (labellum) at the centre of the flower, often a different colour pattern
Thin, wiry, slightly arching stem without leaves (sold as cut sprays)
Waxy, thick-textured petals that feel almost artificial
No scent on most cut Phalaenopsis sprays

Care

Keep stems in clean water and recut at an angle before placing in solution. Avoid handling the delicate petals too much as they bruise easily. Keep away from draughts, direct sun and ripening fruit as the flowers are sensitive to ethylene. Mist lightly to keep petals from drying out in warm rooms.
