Indoor Orchid Care: What’s the best temperature? Then, your new little friend arrives at your door ready for you to love and enjoy!Ĭheck out the My Garden Box for a variety of indoor plants and beautiful plant pots and accessories or if perhaps succulents are more your style: The Succulents Monthly Box might be more of what you’re looking for. Seriously easy – and pretty darn affordable too – considering they do the shopping, accessorizing, and decision making for you. Yes, you might not get orchids, but if you’re here because you just want easy, beautiful indoor houseplants, you might want to check out either of these indoor garden subscription boxes.

Psst… In case you just want to skip all the shopping and deciding… but still want beautiful houseplants: Plant Care Today has a comprehensive article on caring for the Phalaenopsis, an easy orchid care for beginners guide. Did you know you can actually buy orchids online? I found this beautiful blue orchid on Amazon! If you really want to know, it seems many sites recommend the moth orchid or the Phalaenopsis orchid. (Of course I could be totally wrong on this, but so far, I’ve been lucky). I just assume that the grocery store doesn’t want lots of people complaining that their plants have died so they probably figured out which ones would do best and are only selling those. In fact, I have no idea what variety my orchids actually are! I have never even tried to figure out which orchids are recommended as houseplants. Here’s the truth of my orchid success: I’ve only ever bought the cheap department store orchids (two from the grocery store, one from Ikea). There are handfuls of sites on the internet about growing orchids and many of them get quite technical and specific.

‘Orchid care tip’ instructions sheets and a lovely pot are a bonus. Avoid plants with dry or yellowing leaves. More specifically, go to the grocery store (or whatever large department store that also happens to sell houseplants) and just buy the one you think is prettiest! Picking a plant with some un-opened buds means the flowering will last longer. See my about page for more information) Which orchid flower should you buy?
