Orchid Plants & Flowers FAQs

How do you take care of an orchid?

Orchids do best in a humid environment and require ample watering, but be careful not to over-water your orchid plant. Before watering your orchid plant, poke your finger about an inch into the soil. If it is dry, you can give your orchid some more water. Orchids need strong, indirect sunlight. Place your orchid near a south or east-facing window, if you can, to give your plant the best amount of light!

If your home isn’t very humid, you can mist your plant once per day. To prolong the life of your orchid plant, you may consider fertilizing it once per month and pruning any dead blooms to encourage fresh flowers. Single orchid blooms can survive anywhere between 9 to 14 months, making them a lovely, lasting gift for plant lovers and admirers alike. Looking for a beautiful flower for an event that doesn’t require long-term care? FTD has plenty of striking floral arrangements like our colorful gerbera daisy bouquets — an excellent choice for wedding bouquets when you’re searching for the perfect flowers for your bridesmaids to carry down the aisle.

Some additional orchid care tips:

• Avoid overwatering.

• Orchids prefer well-drained soil, so ensure the container has holes at the bottom.

• Check the soil every three days, and when it’s barely humid, add water.

• Room temperature water is best.

• Use loose, loamy soil.

• Place the orchid plant in a bright spot that gets indirect sunlight.

• Fertilizer can be given every 3 to 4 weeks.

• Depending on the species, orchids will rebloom every 6 to 8 months.

What does it mean to give someone an orchid?

Whatever the occasion, an orchid is the perfect means to convey your sentiments. These intricate blooms have different meanings and symbolism for various cultures across the world. To some, orchids represent beauty, elegance and refinement, while others believe the orchid symbolizes everlasting love and affection. Orchids are often sent for funerals to pay respects to deceased family and loved ones. A funeral flower delivery of pink or white orchids is common, as these two colors are thought to convey sympathy. Orchid plants tend to live longer than traditional flower bouquets and are elegant sympathy flower gifts. No matter what species or color you select, an orchid plant for delivery is sure to impress with its beauty, vibrant colors and intricate shape.

Do orchids bloom different colors?

They do! Each color has a different associated meaning. Purple orchids represent admiration and respect, while yellow orchids are said to symbolize friendship and joy. With fine petals, stately stalks and a variety of color options, the gorgeous simplicity of a fresh orchid flower can’t be measured. Our exclusive collection of orchid flowers is sure to contain the perfect present for any loved one. An arrangement of purple orchids is an ideal delivery for a birthday, and a single orchid flower makes showing your gratitude an easy task.
