If you prefer a truly colourful houseplant instead of varieties that just grow green leaves, the Phalaenopsis Multiflora Orchid could fit the bill. This type of moth orchid is known for producing numerous smaller flowers on branching flower spikes, creating a fuller floral display. Instead of one tall stem with a few large blooms, it sends up several shorter, branching spikes that are packed with smaller flowers. This makes it look like the whole plant is full of colour from every side. Choose a pink or purple variety, both in a 12 cm pot.
Phalaenopsis multiflora orchid leaves are glossy and stay low and compact. This lets the plant effortlessly fit on a windowsill, bedside table or desk. Moth orchids are easier to care for than their reputation suggests. They don't grow in ordinary compost but in chunky bark. These plants also have a clear watering preference. They prefer thorough watering followed by excellent drainage, allowing the bark to become almost dry before watering again. They grow best in a bright room, out of the hot midday sun, and the flowers last a long time. With the right care, it can bloom the following year again and brighten UK homes.

Watering Water when the bark or compost is almost dry, soaking the root ball thoroughly before allowing it to drain completely. Avoid leaving water standing in the crown or outer pot, as this can encourage rot. Water less often in cooler, lower-light conditions and more frequently during active growth.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use well-drained soil and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
