💡 Tips for Best Results
Re-pot orchids every 12–18 months or when potting mix starts to break down. Always re-pot after blooming to reduce stress on the plant.
We ship live orchid plants with care. All plants are carefully inspected, packed bare root or in pot, and shipped to arrive in excellent condition.
Please review our Important Plant Shipping Notice before ordering — it covers shipping windows, weather holds, and what to do if your plant arrives damaged.
