Orchid (Assorted colors)
Add a pop of serenity to your tablescape with this popular Phalaenopsis orchid. One of the easiest varieties to grow as a houseplant—it is affectionately called the beginner orchid. You may notice a small number of blooms on your orchid upon delivery. These blooms will open quicker in a warm indoor setting. It will typically bloom about once a year, for up to three months. After a blooming cycle, the flowers will wilt and fall off. This is the orchid’s way to store up energy to re-bloom again next season.
Plant Care
Thrives in bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium indirect light. Direct sun tolerance is species dependant.
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing potting medium to dry out between waterings. If kept in decorative, cache planter, pour out excess water after watering. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity.
This is a pet friendly plant.
Most Orchids are epiphytes fond of tight quarters. Keeping them in their grow pots keeps roots compact, and provides drainage and air circulation.

How to Keep Your Plant Thriving
Follow these guidelines for healthy and beautiful growth.
Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves. Can tolerate low light but growth will slow.
Watering Schedule
Water when top 2 inches of soil are dry. Typically once a week in summer, every 2 weeks in winter. Avoid overwatering.
Temperature & Humidity
Prefers 65–85°F. Higher humidity (50–60%) promotes larger leaves. Mist regularly or use a humidifier.
Pruning & Maintenance
Trim yellow or damaged leaves at the base. Wipe leaves monthly with a damp cloth to remove dust.
Pest Prevention
Check regularly for spider mites and mealybugs. Treat with neem oil spray if pests are detected.
Fertilizing
Feed monthly during growing season (spring–summer) with balanced liquid fertilizer. Skip in winter months.
