The norm for phalaenopsis is 12–16 hour daylight hours.
The plant should be turned 180º towards the light 2 times a month.
How to care at home
Once a month it is necessary to clean the orchid - water it under the shower or tap.

Watering the substrate under the tap helps clean it.
With excessive watering, and especially at low temperatures, dark brown spots may appear on the leaves.
How to understand that an orchid does not have enough light
To understand whether a flower is standing correctly, look at its leaves.

Carefully examine your flower to understand its “well-being”.
