Amazingly beautiful flowers. Must be patient however as it blooms once a year under right conditions. I’ve had some that didn’t bloom for years. But I’ve learned that it’s particular about light, water and temperature. Learn how to care for it and you’ll be rewarded with flowers 🌸

Absolutely gorgeous plant and it’s super easy to care for as long as you get the nursery plug out in time.

This plant is so pretty but it was one of my very first plants so I wasn’t sure how to take care of it and it’s starting to wilt and die. If you get this plant make sure you do your research

I have only just recently got my orchid. I have been wanting one for a long time and got this one reduced. The pedals are so pretty and look forward to having this new plant

My boyfriend got this for me from Kroger and i was unable to move it to a larger pot quickly, but it also came with bugs and I am treating it and giving it orchid food hopefully he comes back :(

Mine is beautiful! Relatively easy to keep alive but very hard to get it to bloom. Overall worth it!

I received this orchid as a gift in August and as soon as I got it I changed the soil (had a death plug). Fast forward to a few weeks ago and the flowers just fell off and have already formed two more stems,one of which is blooming. I never expected this plant to bloom so fast and so easy!

Pretty easy - but contrary to what a lot of grocery store tags say, please don’t give them ice cubes!! Orchids are tropical plants - they don’t want cold water.

Orchids have a semi-scary reputation but they really aren’t that bad! I promise! It’s aaaaalll about keeping an eye on the roots (in my opinion). I like to give them a big soak every couple of weeks instead of watering a little bit more often.
But please for the love of all that is good do NOT do the ice cube method!! Orchids are tropical plants! They don’t like cold water!

Grocery store orchid that that was dying. Repotted with breathable inner pot, removed A LOT of root rot, and uses RepotMe ā€œsoilā€ā€¦.now it’s growing like crazy - lots of new leaves and roots. Fingers crossed it’ll grow a new spike and bloom in the next year. šŸ¤žšŸ¼

Just give it 4 ice cubes once a week and it will bloom every year. Be careful not to knock it over because the stem is very delicate. If it breaks off don’t throw the plant away keep giving it ice every week and even though it will take a very long time you will see a stem grow and bloom again. The beauty of this plant makes it well worth the wait and the effort!
