4️⃣9️⃣. “Papagayo” 2 blooming spikes – Tropical Orchid with Fiery Elegance

Bring a burst of tropical sunshine into your home with the Papagayo Flame Orchid – a dazzling Phalaenopsis hybrid standing approximately 60 cm tall, nestled in a 12 cm nursery pot. Its bright golden-yellow petals are dramatically brushed with bold crimson edges and flickering streaks, giving it the look of a flame dancing in the breeze.

🌟 Interesting Fact:
This unique variety is named Papagayo after the vibrant parrots of Central America, whose brilliant plumage inspired the orchid’s fiery palette. It’s a showstopper in any room and often becomes the centerpiece of a plant collection due to its exotic coloring and long-lasting blooms.

🪴 Care Tips for Your Papagayo Orchid:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct midday rays to protect the petals.

• Watering: Water once a week; allow roots to partially dry out between watering. Never let water sit in the crown of the plant.

• Humidity: Thrives in moderate humidity – consider placing near a humidifier or on a pebble tray.

• Temperature: Ideal range is 18–25°C. Protect from cold drafts or heat vents.

• Fertilizer: Use a diluted orchid-specific fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during active growth.

💧 Recommended Addition – Medium Self-Watering Pot:
To make care even easier, we recommend repotting into a medium-sized self-watering pot. These pots help maintain the perfect moisture balance, reduce the risk of overwatering, and support healthy root development – perfect for busy schedules or frequent travelers.
