So you’ve been given an orchid…
Congratulations – and don’t panic!
Orchids have been adored for centuries, and across their rich history they have amassed a wealth of stories, symbolism and an enduring sense of the exotic. However, amid these myths and misperceptions, they’ve gained a reputation for being high-maintenance.
The truth? They’re far less demanding than you think.
With the right care (and a little patience) moth orchids are easy-going, long-lived and generous plants that can flower again and again. Whether you’re a devoted plant parent or a self-confessed serial killer, we’re here to simplify the science and show you exactly what to do: no jargon, no guilt, no green fingers required.
This is your friendly guide to keeping your plant happy, healthy, and most importantly, alive.
