Phalaenopsis
An ideal indoor orchid. It produces in winter sprays of very long-lasting large flowers, with the sprays enduring for 5 months. The flowers come in a wide range of colours.
The plant is very sensitive to stem rot, if you get water trapped in the young leaves.
In Europe, it is widely available at very low prices in supermarkets, often only labelled as "orchid".
