Creating an orchid arrangement may sound difficult, but it’s actually quite simple – even if you’re not an experienced florist. Plus, an arrangement full of lush orchids is the perfect way to brighten up any room or make a special gift! So, whether you want to spruce up your home or give a thoughtful present, a homemade orchid arrangement is always a great idea.

How to create a stunning orchid arrangement

Generally, you don’t need much to make an orchid arrangement. The basic requirements are a few orchids, a beautiful large bowl, and some moss. That’s it! You can place the orchids, still in their plastic pots, in the bowl. That may seem a bit strange, but you won’t see the plastic pots later on. Play around with the composition of the plants until you’re happy with how they look. Once you’re satisfied, cover the plastic pots with some moss, and voilà: a stunning orchid arrangement!

The power of pairing orchids and green plants

Combining orchids with green plants is a match made in design heaven. The contrasting textures, colors, and heights of these plants create visual interest in your interior. Here are a few tips for successfully pairing orchids with green plants:

 

Choose complementary colors
Orchids come in a wide range of colors, from soft pastels to deep, rich hues. Select orchids that complement the color palette of your green plants. For example, yellow, green and white orchids can beautifully contrast with the vibrant green foliage of a monstera plant.

 

 

Use different heights

Mix and match tall orchids with smaller green plants to create depth and dimension in your space. Hanging planters can also add an interesting vertical element to your decor.

 

 

Create focal points
Place your orchids and green plants strategically to draw attention to specific areas of your home, such as the dining table, a bookshelf, or the kitchen.

 

 

Containers and Pots
Pay attention to the choice of pots and containers. Choose natural materials such as ceramic, terracotta or woven baskets to keep the connection with the natural elements of the interior.

 

 

 

Maintenance and Care

Proper lighting and watering are essential to keep these plants looking their best. Make sure you research the specific needs of each plant and provide them with the necessary care. Check this article for the tips per orchid type: Orchid care tips.

Care tips

To make sure your orchids stay beautiful for a long time, take good care of them. Here are some tips:

• Proper lighting: orchids like plenty of light, without direct sunlight. As the winter months are darker, it is wise to put them closer to a window.
• Sufficient water: avoid overwatering; orchids generally prefer a weekly watering schedule. You can tell by the roots whether orchids need water. Grey roots mean they need water, green roots mean they have enough water.
• Ideal temperature: orchids like temperatures between 15-24°C. Protect them from draughts and sudden temperature changes.

 

 

With these care tips and styling suggestions, you can transform your interior into a winter oasis, with orchids as the centrepiece of elegance and natural beauty. Enjoy the magic of winter in your home with these timeless long bloomers.
