Phalaenopsis KS Balm 'Yellow Chocolate' (peloric - butterfly) fragrant

Phalaenopsis KS Balm ‘Yellow Chocolate’ is a fragrant hybrid, appreciated for its warm hues and flowers that can remain decorative for weeks at a time. Care follows the classic Phalaenopsis routine: filtered light, well-aerated roots, and watering based on the substrate’s actual drying rate.

Light and temperature. Provide plenty of filtered light near an east-facing window or at a distance from a south-facing window. Avoid strong sunlight, cold temperatures, and hot air from radiators. A stable room temperature and gentle ventilation are sufficient.

Watering and fertilizing. Water when the roots turn silvery and the bark is almost dry; allow the water to drain completely. During the active growing season, apply diluted orchid fertilizer after watering.

Substrate and flower spikes. Repot after flowering or when the bark has deteriorated, using an aerated orchid substrate. A green flower spike should not be cut automatically; it may branch. Cut it only after it has dried out completely.
