Orchids are among the most elegant and long-lasting flowers you can have in your home. Whether you've just received a stunning Phalaenopsis Orchid Arrangement or a gorgeous Royal Orchid Arrangement, proper care will keep your blooms looking beautiful for weeks — even months.
Orchids thrive in bright, indirect light. Place your arrangement near a window with filtered sunlight — an east- or west-facing window is ideal. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves and shorten bloom life.
Miami tip: In South Florida's intense sun, a sheer curtain can make all the difference for your orchid arrangement.
One of the most common orchid care mistakes is overwatering. For potted orchid plants, water once a week during warmer months and every 10–14 days in cooler weather. Let the roots dry slightly between waterings.
For cut orchid arrangements in a vase, change the water every 2–3 days and trim the stems at an angle to maximize water uptake.
Orchids love warmth and humidity — which is why they thrive in Miami's climate! Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 85°F. Keep them away from air conditioning vents and cold drafts, which can cause buds to drop prematurely.
If your home is dry, place a small tray of water near your arrangement or mist the leaves lightly in the morning.
For potted orchid plants, feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) diluted to half strength every two weeks during the growing season. Skip fertilizing when the plant is in bloom to avoid stressing it.
To get the most out of your orchid arrangement:
After your Phalaenopsis orchid finishes blooming, don't throw it away! Cut the spike just above the second node from the bottom. With proper care, it will rebloom in 2–3 months. Place it in a slightly cooler spot (around 60°F at night) for 4–6 weeks to trigger a new bloom cycle.
