This orchid comes already dressed in a ceramic pot, so it goes straight from the counter to a windowsill, desk, or gift bag looking finished. The blooms hold for weeks, often months, making it one of the longest-performing flowering plants you can give.

Keep it in bright, indirect light and water sparingly, letting the mix approach dryness before watering again; tip out any water standing in the ceramic sleeve so roots never sit wet. After bloom, trim the spent spike and keep up the same easy routine.
