Description
This large white orchid brings height and softness to a room without any of the upkeep a living plant demands. Standing at 126cm tall, it makes a tall centrepiece for a hallway console, a wide window sill or a spot beside a fireplace where a real orchid might struggle for light. The arching stems carry a run of open blooms and a few closed buds towards the tips, so the flowering looks natural rather than uniform, and the petals have a gentle waxy sheen that mimics the real thing.
We have paid attention to the detail on this artificial orchid, from the veining on each petal to the graduated green of the leaves at the base. The whole arrangement sits in a clear glass pot with faux root and gravel detail, ready to place straight out of the box. Made from plastic, it holds its shape and keeps its clean white colour year after year, which is why a faux orchid suits busy homes, offices and places that see little daylight.
The stems can be bent and angled a little to spread the blooms or lean them towards a window, so you can arrange the display to suit the shelf or table it lands on. There is no watering, no dropped petals and no feeding to remember. To keep it looking its best, dust the leaves and flowers now and then with a soft dry cloth or a light going over with a duster, and wipe the glass pot when it needs it.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real orchid?
Yes. The petals have veining and a soft waxy sheen, and the mix of open blooms and closed buds gives it the look of a real plant rather than a flat, printed copy.
Can I arrange or reposition the stems?
The stems have some flex, so you can angle the blooms and spread them out to suit your shelf, table or window. Bend them gently and in small steps to avoid stressing the joints.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals and leaves with a soft dry cloth or a light duster whenever they gather dust. For the glass pot, a wipe with a slightly damp cloth keeps it clear and bright.
Does it need any water or feeding?
No. This is a faux orchid, so there is no watering, feeding or repotting to worry about. It stays presentable with only the occasional dust.
Will the white colour fade over time?
The plastic holds its white finish well. To help it last, keep it out of long spells of harsh direct sunlight, which can affect any coloured material over the years.
