If you are a beginner and purchased your orchid at a grocery store, more than likely it is of the genus Phalaenopsis. Most common orchids, especially Phalaenopsis, are hybrids and it is difficult or impossible to identify the name. This isn’t to say your orchid can’t be identified. In many cases, it might be possible to somewhat identify the parents of your orchid.

It’s difficult to distinguish between the two names mentioned as they’re closely related. But what’s more important is the container it’s currently in. It should be planted in a pot with good drainage along with soil that drains well yet retains moisture. Don’t let it dry out between watering.

This is my most productive blooming orchid!
