Want to go all out with your Christmas tree this year? Try decorating it with orchids! These houseplants have a luxurious look and come in many colours that suit the Christmas season beautifully. Plus, a Christmas tree is sturdy enough to hold them. And it’s certainly an original idea!

 

Orchids in your Christmas tree

Start by selecting a few types of orchids in colours you love. We chose the Phalaenopsis and Cambria. 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.

 

 

Caring for orchids

In winter, it’s best to water orchids once or twice a week. Ideally, take them out of the Christmas tree and place them in a shallow dish of water for 5–10 minutes. This allows the roots to absorb just the right amount of water. Let the orchids drain thoroughly before putting them back in the tree.

 

 

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!
