There are several sizes of Phalaenopsis orchids!

Phalaenopsis orchids are popular even at weddings.

They can be used in bouquets, as hair decorations, or as floral arrangements for the high table or guest tables♡

With varieties in white and pink, as well as deeper purples and trendy muted tones, they are one of the flowers you want to use if you want a stylish wedding that exudes elegance.

Did you know that Phalaenopsis orchids come in different sizes?

They can be broadly classified into three types: large, medium, and small.

First, the large-flowered Phalaenopsis orchids are the type you often see decorated in stores for grand openings.

The size of the petals is about 10 to 15 cm.

Next, the medium-sized type, also known as midi or mini Phalaenopsis, is about 6 cm in size.

You can see that this one is smaller than the previous type.

And the smallest ones are called micro Phalaenopsis♡

Micro Phalaenopsis orchids have petals that are less than 3 cm, making them quite petite and incredibly adorable♡

While you need to lift a large pot of Phalaenopsis with both hands, you can carry a micro Phalaenopsis with one hand because of its light weight.

Large Phalaenopsis orchids seem too grand for an ordinary home, but the size of micro Phalaenopsis is cute and fits well in a normal house.

You can display them like a single stem vase, and they bring an elegant flair as an ornamental plant, making them highly recommended.

In this article, we will focus in detail on the smallest micro Phalaenopsis orchids in history♡

The language of flowers is the same for all.

The language of flowers for micro Phalaenopsis, as well as the large and midi or mini types, is basically the same.

"Happiness will come flying"

"Pure love"

That's it♡

When I see micro Phalaenopsis, it reminds me of a spring butterfly, and I think the meaning "happiness will come flying" perfectly matches its appearance and is so cute♡

More diverse variations than large-flowered types

Micro Phalaenopsis actually features a wider variety of colors and designs compared to the standard large-flowered types♡

Not just solid white like the large types, but pink, yellow, mixed colors, and sold in single or three-stalk types, they are colorful and fun just to look at♡

The average price range for potted (pot) micro Phalaenopsis orchids varies, but they can be found starting from around 3,000 yen to around 8,000 yen for the more expensive ones.

They make great wedding or new home gifts for friends who love flowers, and could also be wonderful as gifts to parents during a wedding ceremony♡

(Phalaenopsis orchids are pollen-free and odorless, so they are safe in that regard♡)

The frequency of watering is low (it’s okay not to do it every day, just moistening the soil when it dries), and they bloom for over a month, which is delightful.

They can last for up to about three months, making them easy to care for.
