This 5-inch large Phalaenopsis orchid is a classic, elegant flowering plant sold at Costco warehouses. Phalaenopsis (moth orchids) are among the most popular and easy-care orchid varieties, prized for their long-lasting blooms and graceful arching stems. The plant arrives potted in a 5-inch container and is ready to display as a centerpiece, gift, or home accent.

Expect blooms to last 6 to 8 weeks, with buds opening gradually over approximately 30 days for a full floral display. Place the orchid in a location with bright, indirect light — away from direct sunlight and windowsills. Maintain temperatures between 60°F and 80°F and avoid cold drafts or hot environments. Water with about 3 ounces of room-temperature water twice weekly, monitoring root color to gauge moisture needs (green roots indicate adequate hydration; grey roots signal it is time to water).

No fertilizer is needed during the bloom cycle, as the plant arrives with sufficient nutrients. After blooms fall, the orchid can potentially rebloom with proper care: cut stems above a node, move the plant to a slightly cooler location (60–65°F) for several weeks, and resume regular care to encourage new growth.
