Orchid jungle in your home
The orchid is known as the queen of the plant kingdom because of its elegance, beauty and long flowering period. With its unusual flower shapes, the plant adds an enchanting Asian accent to your interior. Although the orchid is perfectly capable of shining on its own, nowadays you increasingly see orchid jungles in interiors. These consist of a number of plants grouped together in pots. There is a place for these enchanting beauties in every interior.
Variation
The secret of an orchid jungle lies in the variation. Choose different colours, shapes and sizes. It is also important that the orchids are relatively close together. Place them all in a basket, tray or crate. Of course, give the smaller ones a place at the front. An alternative is to place each plant in a separate decorative pot and then push them together. For example, choose a mix of low and high decorative pots with legs for extra dynamism. You can create depth with botanical wallpaper or a poster in the background. You will enjoy the orchid jungle most with the flowers at eye level.
Tip: Double the number of plants in an instant by placing a mirror behind the orchid jungle.
Diversity
You can always create a combination that perfectly suits your interior style, as there are around 25,000 different orchids available worldwide. The best known is the moth orchid (Phalaenopsis) with flowers reminiscent of floating butterflies. The plant comes in various colours including white, pink, lilac, yellow and salmon. Other well-known species include the tiger orchid (Oncidium), violet orchid (Miltonia), lady’s slipper (Paphiopedilum), Dendrobium, Cambria and Vanda. Each flower has a unique shape and invites you to admire it up close.
