Honest answers to the questions we get most often.
Orchids are wonderfully long-lasting. A cut orchid arrangement stays beautiful well beyond most flowers, and the blooms on a potted phalaenopsis (moth orchid) can last two to three months. With a little care, a potted orchid will then rebloom again and again.
Less than you'd think. Most indoor orchids need watering roughly once a week, and the biggest mistake is overwatering. Let the potting mix dry out almost completely between waterings, water thoroughly, then let any excess drain away so the roots never sit in water.
Somewhere bright but out of harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal. Orchids also love a little humidity, so a kitchen or bathroom with good light suits them well.
It's completely normal for an orchid to drop its flowers and rest. It hasn't died. Keep caring for it and most orchids will rebloom. To encourage new flowers, leave it in a bright spot with a slight drop in night-time temperature, and feed it with a little orchid fertiliser.
Not at all, once you know the golden rule: don't overwater. Orchids are far more forgiving than their reputation suggests, and a potted orchid is genuinely one of the easiest flowering plants to keep alive and reblooming.
They do, more than most. Orchids love warmth and humidity, so our subtropical Gold Coast conditions are a natural fit, and many varieties will even grow happily on a shaded patio or in the garden.
A cut arrangement is styled with orchid stems for an immediate, elegant display that lasts for weeks. A potted plant is living, so with simple care it reblooms for years, making it the better choice if you want a lasting gift.
