"name... Phalaenopsis... comes from Greek phalaina, meaning a moth, and
opsis, meaning resemblance...
Translucent pots allow light to reach the roots and algae to form on their
surface [is that desirable ?] this helps with moisture and nutrient uptake.
...
Moth orchids are effective in removing xylene (chemical emissions from
adhesives, computer VDU screens, paints, photocopiers and varnishes) from
the atmosphere [really ?]"
