Plant Basket Care

Your plant basket will have 2 or more separate plants chosen for texture, color and beauty. Each plant will need to be cared for separately. Individual plants are in plastic pots with deep plastic liners, to allow for individual watering without removing them from the basket. To avoid water damage on furniture: water the basket at the sink and remove the moss from the plants to ensure each is receiving the proper water without overflow. Never let a plant remain in standing water, or become too dry. The plants in your basket will not necessarily dry out at the same time so each one will need to be checked individually about 2 to 3 times a week. Water when the soil surface has dried out slightly. Blooming plants need bright, indirect sunlight; green plants can have less. Use a balanced fertilizer once a month or dilute and use a weak solution at every watering. Air circulation is important. But a cold draft or hot air from a heat source is stressful to all plants.

Orchids

Orchids are easy care plants that typically bloom for three to ten weeks. With a little attention they will last for years. Place your orchids in bright indirect light away from drafts. An ideal temperature range is 65 to 85 degrees. Avoid any temperature extremes or placing orchids near heating/cooling vents. Orchids need to be watered every five to seven days. They need perfect drainage. Do not leave potted orchids in standing water. Terra cotta pots can be put in the sink to allow complete drainage. If your orchid is in an arrangement or basket, remove it for watering. Drain any water from plastic liners.

Most varieties of orchids, after blooming, need their flower spike cut off. Phalaenopsis orchids should be cut just below the lowest flower, and ¼ inch about the next node. After the secondary spike has finished flowering, cut the entire spike back to the base. A new spike should grow from that node. With proper care your orchid will re-bloom once to several times a year. Varieties vary. Orchids prefer to be root bound and repotting is only necessary about every three years.
