Orchid Variety with Spider-Like Flowers
Our Spider Orchid is a unique botanical that adds effortless interest to any space. With its distinctive spider-like blooms in striking hues of red and yellow, this orchid variation is a true conversation starter.
With each spiky bloom extending around 4-5 inches in size, it truly resembles an exotic spider. It's even said that in the wild, a spider resembling the flower itself will rest on the plant waiting for pollinating prey!
Plus, its low-maintenance benefits make caring for it a breeze - perfect for both novice and seasoned gardeners alike. Simply provide it with the right amount of light and occasional watering and watch as it thrives with minimal effort.
Standing tall and proud, the Spider Orchid can reach heights up to seven feet when supported by a trellis, making it a stunning focal point in any space.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant in well-draining orchid potting mix, and place near bright, indirect sunlight to foster healthy growth. If you're located above Zone 9, plant your Spider Orchid in a pot and overwinter indoors.
2. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the potting mix to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot and maintain optimal health.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength, applying every 2-4 weeks during the growing season to promote robust growth.
4. Pruning: Prune wilted flower spikes by cutting them back to the base to encourage new growth.
