With over 25,000 types of orchid, there are plenty of styles to choose from, but we have a particular soft spot for the peaceful ivory blooms of Lara, or ‘Boquetto Sensation’. She’s the perfect match for our Dipped tumbler pot and FRUU’s Earl Grey bath salts, creating a soothing gift for someone who needs a little TLC (yourself included).
For a happy orchid – and lots of flowers – put yours in bright, indirect sunlight. Overwatering is the most common way to kill an orchid, so always check the pot first. If it feels heavy, leave it alone. If it’s light, it’s time for a drink. Lara will fare better with rainwater or filtered water (she’s not one for tap).
To encourage your orchid to flower more, feed it orchid fertiliser in spring and summer, and deadhead any faded flowers just above the bud. This will help your orchid put more energy into growing spectacular new flowers. Unlike most houseplants, orchids love being root-bound so they won’t need repotting often. Instead, refresh the soil with orchid compost every 2-3 years.
This bundle also includes:
Dipped tumbler in Ochre – This pot is crafted from ceramic, before being dipped by hand into a glossy glaze to create a colourful contrast. The result is a two-tone design with a contrasting matt base.
FRUU Earl Grey Bath Salts – These Earl Grey-scented bath salts capture the signature fragrance of your favourite brew with a blend of bergamot and black pepper, along with soothing clary sage and benzoin.
