Description
This artificial orchid stands 84cm tall, with arching stems of white flowers rising from a cluster of broad leaves and slimmer, grass-like ones. At that height it is a plant for a sideboard, a console table or the floor beside a chair rather than a small windowsill piece, and the flowers open well clear of whatever surface carries it. It comes potted, in a plain pot 13cm tall and 16cm across at the base, and the whole plant weighs 0.81KG, so it is easy to lift and move between rooms.
Because an artificial orchid needs no watering and no daylight, it suits the places where a living one would struggle: a hallway console, a dim corner of the living room, a bedroom chest of drawers, or a reception desk in a studio or office. The flowers are white, so the plant sits quietly with most colour schemes and reads clearly against a plain wall. It is a good choice for anyone who loves the look of an orchid but travels often, and for a guest room that goes weeks between visitors.
The plant is made of 70% polyethylene, 10% fabric, 10% polystyrene and 10% iron. The maker's care note asks that it be handled with care so that petals and leaves do not come loose, and we would move it by the pot rather than the stems and set it where it will not be brushed against on a busy route through the house. The styling props shown are not included. For a finished look, slip the plain pot into a decorative planter with an opening comfortably wider than the pot itself; a heavy ceramic or stoneware planter also gives the tall stems a steadier footing, and a mossy top dressing will hide the rim.
