The Best Orchids For Beginners - With Moderate Light Conditions
Among the best plants for beginners with moderate light conditions are Phalaenopsis, Paphiopedilum, Miltonia and Miltoniopsis, with Paphiopedilum being the most tolerant of shady conditions, perhaps even a bright northern window. Somewhat brighter lighting conditions will be ideal for showy Dendrobiums and the fragrant spectacle provided by , Cattleyas, Oncidiums, and Brassias.
Favorite Orchid - Phalaenopsis
According to a survey by the American Orchid Society, the world’s largest plant society, Phalaenopsis is America’s favorite orchid. It is also considered the easiest to grow. Phalaenopsis is known as the moth orchid, because its sprays of wing-like blooms bear a striking resemblance to clusters of brilliantly colored moths perched upon a branch. Under proper indoor conditions, this native of tropical lowlands can provide blooms for up to eight months of the year, perhaps producing flower spikes twice each year.
Paphiopedilum is commonly called the Lady’s-slipper orchid, thanks to its tell-tale flower pouches. It produces long-lasting flowers along an upright spike or stem. The blooms themselves can last up to 10 weeks and offer an array of pink, gold, white and lavender, often combined together in a single, stunning flower with darker shaded veins.
