Common questions
Is it safe for cats and dogs?
Yes. The ASPCA lists the moth orchid (Phalaenopsis) as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A pet that eats a lot of any plant may get a mild upset stomach, but it won't be poisoned.
What do I do when the flowers fall off?
That's normal after a few weeks. Cut the spike back to just above a node, or to the base if it turns brown. Keep caring for the leaves and it will send up a new spike.
