Plants & Blooms Shop™ PB104 Orchid, Salmon

This is the perfect orchid in so many ways. Immediately, it’s beautiful as you can see in the picture and the leaves are so healthy standing up and so many of them. The best part about this purchase is the booklet you see standing next to it, it has the most information I’ve ever gotten with any orchid purchase and it’s all I needed. I’m so tired of going and looking at videos online, it’s so easy to follow and they have so many other beautiful plants. This will be my go to store for sure. Thank you for the beautiful orchid.

The orchid arrived very well packaged and in great condition. This is my first shipped orchid and I'm pleasantly surprised. It's a lot better than I expected and would make a nice gift. It appears that it was soaked right before shipping and had some white spots, which is not surprising with the current heat and moisture. It's potted in a spongy medium (long fiber sphagnum moss?) that I'm not familiar with, and the inner pot was only vented on the bottom. I cut some slits in the inner pot, treated with copper fungicide, and allowed it to air out. It's doing quite well. The photo was taken after it settled for a couple days. I named her Gloria.

This is extremely tiny for the price. You could get as much larger one for a few dollars more. the other problem I had was I sent this to New England in Jan. and UPS left it on the door step without ringing the bell in freezing temperatures and the plant froze and died.

I ordered these to be delivered as a birthday gift, to a different state, after problems with delivery, they had been in transit 4-5 days, I expected dried up, damaged or dead plants, with no chance of flowers intact. but they were perfect! I would add that Amazon did keep me posted every step along the way, sometimes things just happen. I will definitely use this company again, Would reccomended it. They are a bit pricey,(for my budget) but comparable to all others I looked at. Plus you can't argue the quality.

The plant is BIG, I was surprised to see BRIGHT BLUE flowers with a DARK PURPLE flower order that I actually ordered... At first I thought how weird, but cool! But as I looked more into it and studied the plant, the buds are dyed.. 100%, I have no doubt. The plant and the roots ARE IN good condition, which is why I'm keeping it and looking forward to repotting the Orchid in an appropriate sized pot for it's larger size. The one I received is not a mini plant (compare to my other actual pink mini next to it) and I do look forward to seeing what color her buds ACTUALLY are after a repot and some love and care. More than likely white, which is fine. I just wish the buds were not dyed in the first place. Packaging and delivery was great, she was well taken care of during packing and shipping, I can tell, so I know the Sellers CARE, just please.. just don't dye the plants flowers anymore. It's such a bummer! ** NOTE: I don't know why but they also cut off the top roots. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is my first time not killing an orchid and having a rebloom 🤩🤩 This is exactly what I did: 1) add 1/4 cup of tap water every Tuesday 2) add one drop fertilizer once a month to this water. 3) have a mini humidifier next to it and run pretty much all the time. This is the fertilizer: Espoma Organic Orchid! 8-ounce concentrated plant food – Plant Fertilizer and Bloom Booster for all Orchids and Bromeliads. Ideal for Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, and Other Types of Orchids. Pack of 2 https://a.co/d/2zXG2Zz

I gifted this plant, and was surprised when she sent me a picture showing how small the plant is. Only 5 blooms! Two had broken off. The edge of one of the leaves is brown. Overpriced for quality.

Please take 5 mins to look up proper orchid care. It’s very easy if you do a small amount of research. If anyone says, just add ice, don’t continue reading or listening. DO NOT ADD ICE! Using ice on a tropical plant will eventually kill it. I’ve fallen in love with orchids because I stopped murdering them with ice.
