Winter Whites
We are always searching for plants & flowers that do
well indoors during these long winter months.
If you have never heard of “Moth” orchids then listen up.
Potted Moth Orchids are a year-round flower that does well
indoors. With their paper-thin petals
and tall erect stems, they can bring elegance, fragrance, and beauty to your
indoor décor. During winter's dark cold days,
these potted beauties are perfect to brighten your days.
A decorative container or simple elegant white vase filled
with moth orchids are even easy for a beginner gardener. Most folks can be easily intimated by their
sophisticated look but they shouldn’t be. A
potted moth orchid requires little attention and maintenance.
As new variations in color, size and blooms arrive, even
green thumb gardeners are giving these easily potted indoor flowers a second
look.
Remove the orchid from the nursery pot. If the root ball is tight, gently work it
free. Clip off any dead roots or
stems. Spread the roots with your hands
gently on a clean surface. Now all you
need to do is select a stunning flower container to repot the orchid in. Try to make it larger than the existing pot
but not to oversize.
Water the planter regularly, but reduce the amount during winter
months. Keep the foliage dry, so don’t
splash the flowers and leaves with watering.
Don’t let the roots of the potted moth orchid dry out. Since you don’t want the orchid sitting in
water, make sure your garden container has sufficient drainage.
That’s pretty much it!
These types of potted flowers are impressive and ornate so enjoy all
winter long.
