If you’ve ever received a bouquet of fresh flowers, you know that for as beautiful as they may look when first put into a vase, they end up in the trash all too soon.
Fortunately, there’s an alternative that’s just as beautiful in your home: potted plants like orchids! Because they come home in dirt, instead of a trimmed stem, you can get much more time with them and enjoy their beauty.
The shelf life of a potted orchid is much longer than fresh flowers. While flowers will likely last 1-2 weeks, an orchid will be in bloom for up to 8 weeks! Plus, with proper care, your orchid can rebloom later, meaning you get more beauty at another time in your home.
With proper care, we have customers who have rebloomed their orchids multiple times, giving you a gorgeous plant time and time again, which is the most sustainable option!
Fresh flowers need to be trimmed and get fresh water, and that’s all in just a few days. Orchids are simple and don’t require much work once they’re brought home.
Just water once a week with ice cubes or water and place in bright, indirect light and they’ll thrive! Without having to worry about complicated watering schedules, misting or refrigeration, you can enjoy stunning blooms without the hassle.
After your blooms fall, you can carefully trim your stems and continue care! With patience and care, your orchid will rebloom in 6-9 months, giving you stunning beauty from the same plant!
Fresh flowers require some maintenance at home to remain full, although they are beautiful! Orchids have a nice longevity though and can carry you over weeks while still being beautiful.
The different sized options give you opportunities to decorate different spaces of your home that a vase of cut flowers may not fit into, such as bathroom counters or other small spaces like window ledges.
Premium orchids are tall and stunning, making a great centerpiece for weeks or even a great accent on your mantle. Mini and petite orchids are small and do well in kitchens, bathrooms or even can brighten up your office.
While fresh flowers aren’t likely to ever go out of style, adding potted plants to your lineup will give you more variety!
