Orchid Care Tips for Customers:

2. Watering: Water once a week. Let the water drain thoroughly to avoid root rot.
3. Temperature: Orchids prefer temperatures between 15-25°C.
4. Humidity: They love humidity. Consider placing a tray of water near the orchid or misting occasionally.
5. Feeding: Use a specific orchid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.

In-store Display Tips:

1. Arrange your orchids at varying heights using tiered stands or shelves, ensuring each plant is easily visible.
2. Incorporate a well-lit backdrop and consider using a soft coloured fabric or paper to enhance the orchids' colours. This will not only showcase their beauty but also attract the attention of passing customers.
3. Make sure to display that these Orchids are British grown and peat-free using a chalk or display board, enticing your more eco-conscious customer further.
