Phalenopsis Orchid (My Favourite)
Commonly known as moth orchids, are mainly single-stemmed epiphytes. The thick, upright stems up to 8cm tall carry wide, fleshy, alternate leaves which are limp.
Some aerial roots are produced on the stem among the lower leaves. Simular roots cover the mixture.
Arching flower stalks that rise from the leaf axils can be 90cm long, with branches 30cm long. Stalks bear up to 30 pansy - like flowers in an inflorescence resembling a flight of moths.
Flowering occurs at any time and each flower lasts up to 3 weeks.
Dendrobium Orchid
The Dendrobium Orchids grown as indoor plants require relatively cool conditions. Each of the tall, stem-like, and often noded bulbs carries several alternate leaves. Flowers are born on short stalks which grow from the bulb. Petals and sepals are usually similar in shape, and the prominent lip is often strongly coloured. The flowers usually last up to six weeks or more.
Living Arrangements
The living arrangements consist of a mixture of succulent plants some flowering species, being succulents they are very easy to look after they do not require very much water and they thrive on neglect. The living arrangements can be custom made to suit your need - They are a great gift for the not so keen gardener and many of the succulents can be spread around the garden by propogating them from a single leaf or stem.
Bromeliads
Bromeliads are mainly tropical, rosette-forming plants that differ from most other flowering plants in that they absorb their food and moisture largely through leaves rather than roots.
