Moth Orchids, or Phals<\/a>, always put on an impressive show. They’ve become essential for Valentine’s Day and the Lunar New Year<\/a>. A steady stream of new hybrid colors and patterns continually adds to the list of Phal choices. Best of all, modern hybrids<\/a> are grown for both beauty and toughness. They are as easy to keep as other common houseplants with a few care tips<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These tropical plants don’t like cold weather, so take basic precautions if you’re buying over winter. Don’t let them get too cold on the way home. Ideally, they should be kept above 65\u00b0F (18\u00b0C,) but a quick exposure to chilly air shouldn’t be a problem. If it’s near or below freezing, however, keep them completely out of the cold. Wrap the plant and flowers, or inflate a bag around them, to provide a cushion of warmer air. Quickly move them out of any cold temps<\/a>. That way your gift will arrive at its destination with its flowers in great shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
