Many kitchens already contain basil or other cooking herbs, or a strawberry or tomato plant. Did you know that they go very well with a colourful orchid? Take a look!

An orchid cheers up any room. How about the bedroom? Could it use a bit of colour? Place one on each bedside cabinet. It changes the look straightaway, don’t you think? Orchids also prefer the bedroom: the temperature is usually a little cooler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An orchid worth framing

Why should an orchid always have to stand around? Try hanging it on the wall, maybe in the living room. That’s right, just like a painting. A living painting which you can enjoy every day. Such an ‘artwork’ can be very unusual, particularly with orchid varieties with a lot of markings and colour. Your florist can almost certainly provide a suitable pot!

You may not have thought of it, but why shouldn’t you have an orchid in the bathroom? There will certainly be no problem with the humidity: it’s similar to the jungle where the orchid originates. Put one next to the bath, or on the window sill. It lends instant luxury to an ordinary bathroom.

Want to give your children more of a feel for plants, or even a plant of their own? An orchid would be a good choice. With their colourful appearance they have an immediate appeal for children. They are also strong plants. Your advice will help children to learn how to care for plants. And why not use a couple of orchids to bring a touch of nature to the classroom?

The chic appearance of orchids also looks great in the workplace. If you have two desks pushed together, a couple of orchids on the dividing line will give a bit more privacy on both sides. And could your lobby do with more allure? Place a couple of orchids in a large decorative pot. They will catch your visitors’ eye the minute they walk in the door!

An orchid is already a magnificent plant in its own right. But a good vase for the flowers or a pot for the plants lends the perfect finishing touch. And do you know what the latest trend in interior design is? A couple of different vases or pots together! The variety lends a highly decorative effect. An orchid also looks very good in a large, tall pot. Again try putting a couple of pots together. Or decorate a pot with an ornamental trunk and a couple of stones. Magnificent!

 

 

 

 

Always a popular gift

Not sure what gift to give a good friend? An orchid is always popular. It really is the all-purpose gift: a birthday, a new home, a diploma or just for the sake of it. And the variety of colours means that there’s always an orchid to match the recipient. Good luck with your gift!
