Orchids in your Christmas tree

Start by selecting a few types of orchids in colours you love. First, slip a stocking around the pot to prevent the soil from spilling out. Place the pot in the tree and secure it to a branch with a bit of wire. Continue like this, arranging the orchids throughout the tree. Done? Finish the Christmas tree with a few velvet bows.

 

 

After the holidays

After a merry Christmas and a festive New Year’s, it’s time to say goodbye to the Christmas tree. According to tradition, the Christmas tree is taken down on January 6th. But what to do with the empty spot it leaves behind? The solution is simple: add greenery. Green is seen as a colour of life, renewal, nature, and energy. Additionally, houseplants create a cosy atmosphere and lift your spirits. So, turn your Christmas tree orchids into a cheerful plant corner to keep January feeling bright!
