Orchids that are easy to grow and even easier to enjoy.With graceful stems and colorful flowers that are diverse in color, pattern, shape and size, what's not to love about orchids? The popular Phalaenopsis orchid is without a doubt one of the most beautiful orchids and probably the easiest to grow in the home. More than forty species occur in nature throughout the Asiatic tropics with most coming from the Philippines. A mature Phalaenopsis can be in bloom 8 to 10 months a year, producing two or more complete spikes per year. The spikes can carry thirty or more blooms, each lasting from 2 to 3 months. When the last flower has wilted, the spike can be cut back to about an inch above the second or third node (bump on the spike). A new lateral shoot will usually form from one of these nodes within a few weeks. At Mahoney's we take pride in our vast selection of these exotic beauties. We’ve got everything from traditional Phalaenopsis to much more unusual varieties from this amazing family of plants. They're affordably priced so pick one up for the office or send one as a gift.
