About The Large Double Orchid

Our stunning Large Double Orchid features multiple orchid stems and the option to include fragrant, decorative eucalyptus (important note: eucalyptus is not pet-friendly) or fern foliage . This thoughtful gift is available in a variety of bloom colors, from white, purple, burnt orange, gold, and sky blue.

NOTE: Like other orchid planters, these planters are designed without drainage holes. This is intentional for decor purposes, and with proper watering practices, this is totally fine. We recommend watering with just ¼ cup of water per week—ideally using three ice cubes, which melt slowly like natural rainfall, preventing excess water from pooling at the bottom. If you'd rather top water, you can easily lift the moss and the orchids to pour out excess after watering.

Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
Each planter contains two clear 5" grow pots nestled side-by-side in a 10" planter, topped with a layer of decorative green moss
Available with or without aromatic eucalyptus stems
Orchid measures 9-13 inches tall from bottom of the grow pot to the top of the foliage
The actual color of blooms may vary slightly from what is pictured

Care Guide

Watering Requirements

Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing potting mix to dry out between waterings. If dropped into a decorative, cache planter, pour out excess water 5-10 minutes after watering. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Sunlight Requirements

Thrives in bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium indirect light

Humidity Requirements

While they can tolerate normal room humidity, Phalaenopsis orchids do not like dry air, so try to keep humidity anywhere from 40–70%. During the fall or winter, you can help to boost humidity with a humidifier.

Pet-Friendly Plant?

Yes, this plant is safe for homes with pets.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

After the last flower has fallen, if the bloom stalks are still healthy, cut the stem back to a node (where there is a little flap of tissue). With a few weeks of good care, a new bloom stalk might emerge from that node and provide a small flush of blooms that last another 2-3 months!

How do you extend the blooming cycle of a Phalaenopsis Orchid?

Unlike most houseplants, you cannot propagate a Phalaenopsis Orchid from a leaf or stem cutting. Instead, they are propagated via a keiki, a genetically identical baby plantlet that occasionally sprouts from a node on a flower spike. Once the keiki grows at least three leaves and several two-inch roots, you can carefully snip and pot it separately.

Repot pot-bound orchids after they finish blooming. If you must repot an actively flowering orchid, handle the roots with extreme care to prevent the blossoms from dropping prematurely.

When is the best time to repot a Phalaenopsis Orchid?

Repot pot-bound orchids after they finish blooming. If you must repot an actively flowering orchid, handle the roots with extreme care to prevent the blossoms from dropping prematurely.

Aside from the proper environment and fertilizing, you can try to encourage the next blooming cycle by exposing the orchid to a temporary temperature drop for a few weeks. Placing the plant in a spot that drops to around 55°F to 60°F at night (like near a cool window) signals the orchid to kickstart its next flowering cycle.
