Description �� Care & Handling Tips for Phalaenopsis ‘Carrot Cake’ Light Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during midday, to prevent leaf scorch. East- or west-facing windows are usually perfect. Water Water thoroughly when the potting medium is nearly dry—about once a week. Use lukewarm, distilled, or rainwater if your tap water is hard. Never let the roots sit in standing water. Humidity Prefers moderate humidity (50–70%). Use a humidity tray or room humidifier if indoor air is dry. Misting is okay but do so in the morning to prevent overnight dampness on the leaves. Temperature Daytime: 65–80°F (18–27°C); Nighttime: not below 60°F (15°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. Fertilizing Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) diluted to half strength. Feed every 2–3 weeks during active growth; reduce in winter. Repotting Every 1–2 years after blooming, or when the potting medium breaks down. Use a well-draining bark-based orchid mix. Flower Care After blooms fade, you can: Trim the flower spike just above a node to encourage possible reblooming. Or cut it off entirely to allow the plant to rest. General Handling Avoid touching the blooms often—they bruise easily. Clean leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth. Always check for pests like mealybugs or scale insects.
