Supermarket Orchids Can Make Your Home Look and Feel Amazing

Orchids have a reputation for being difficult, expensive, and intimidating.  It's true they're not freewheeling like geraniums which bloom like crazy with fair weather and cool nights.

Orchids Are Plant World Divas

Chances are when you have an orchid or 2 radiating loveliness in your grocery cart, fellow shoppers comment, "Wow, those flowers are so lovely," "Be careful with those plants - they cost a fortune," "I wish I had your green thumb!"

Stop and think about this. There is no reason to be intimidated by these plants. They cost no more than a regular bouquet and last weeks or months longer. If their attitude appears standoffish, it's just your imagination.

They want to come home with you and grace your home with beauty.

Why Buy an Orchid Instead of a Cut Flower Bouquet?

• 
• Bloom Longevity (sometimes months)
• Daily care not needed
• No arranging
• Instant gratification

Plant Expertise is Not Necessary

• Often the less you mess with orchids, the happier they are
• Choose from the most common supermarket orchid:  the Phalaenopsis, AKA Moth Orchid. Like kittens and puppies, it's hard to pick just one.
• These plants are already showing off their amazing blooms - making this happen is not your concern

How Does an Orchid Make Your Home Look and Feel Amazing?

• If you love nature and beauty you will enjoy these plants
• No matter where you live, the orchid will bring uplifting energy to your space
• Place them where you spend lots of time and they will remind you to pause and savor the moments.
• Mindfulness. Orchids may help a person ride out life's bumps and rough spots.
• They are super listeners, always keep secrets, and appreciate the drama.

Where Should We Place an Orchid?

 

• Simple grilled cheese tastes better with an orchid sharing the table
• In the kitchen as you wash dishes, clear counters, and cook your masterpiece - the orchid may remind you to turn on a bit of dance music
• Bathrooms that have a window or skylight are elevated by orchids to become a private spa. The humidity helps the plants pretend they're home in the tropics.
• Anywhere else there is filtered sunlight - your desk, entryway, living room - it's fun to move orchids around and see the different effects.

In summary, supermarket orchids are affordable, available, and easy and it's  fun to have this living breathing drama queen shining right along with you.

 

Treat an orchid like you prefer to be treated.

Spend time with it, give appreciation and allow it to be itself.  Enjoy the blooms as long as they happen, and respect when it needs to rest.

 

The orchid plant does her own thing. Shouldn’t we all?
