7️⃣0️⃣. “Yellow Leopard” Orchid - 2 Spikes

Meet the Yellow Leopard Phalaenopsis Orchid, a true show-stopper with a wild side. Standing 40cm tall in her 12cm nursery pot, she carries two blooming spikes that burst with golden petals splashed in bold red leopard spots. Each flower looks as though it’s been hand-painted—no two are exactly alike.

What makes her special? Beyond her long-lasting blooms (up to three months!), she carries a fascinating quirk: orchid flowers can twist a full 180° as they develop—a botanical pirouette that ensures her blooms always face the spotlight. It’s nature’s choreography, and she performs it beautifully year after year.

🌿 Care Instructions

• Light: Bright, indirect sunlight—an east or west-facing windowsill is ideal.

• Water: Let the potting medium almost dry before watering again. Avoid pooling water in the crown.

• Humidity: Happy at 40–60%. Add a pebble tray or gentle mist if your room feels dry.

• Feeding: A balanced orchid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during growth keeps her energised.

• Temperature: Prefers 18–25°C, away from draughts and radiators.

💡 Pro tip: Pair her with our Small Self-Watering Plant Pot—it takes the guesswork out of watering, so her roots stay healthy and her blooms stay radiant.
