Wire Orchid (M)

Wire Orchid refers to a type of wire that is used to support Phalaenopsis orchids and prevent the flower stems from breaking due to the weight of the flower heads. The wire is typically bent into a U-shape and inserted into the potting mix near the base of the orchid, with the two ends of the wire extending up to support the flower stem. This technique is commonly used by orchid growers and enthusiasts to help their Phalaenopsis plants produce more flowers and to prevent damage to the flower stems.
