Orchid Houseplants

Orchids are elegant houseplants known for their stunning, long-lasting flowers that come in a variety of colours and patterns. These plants thrive in bright, indirect light and prefer well-draining orchid mix soil to mimic their natural epiphytic growing conditions. Water your orchids once the potting mix feels almost dry, usually every 7-10 days, ensuring that the roots do not sit in water. Their exotic blooms make orchids a captivating focal point in any indoor space.

In addition to their beauty, orchids require relatively specific care but are rewarding for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. They prefer temperatures between 18°C and 26°C and high humidity, so occasional misting or placing the pot on a humidity tray can be beneficial. Fertilise every two to four weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble orchid fertiliser to support blooming and growth. With proper care, orchids can bring a touch of elegance and tropical allure to your home or office, enhancing any space with their breathtaking flowers.
