Top 5 Ways to Save Money When Buying Orchids

  1. Buy a plant with more buds and one/some already open, so you know you’ll enjoy the full blooming of the plant without bud blast.
  2. Don’t buy by price, buy by what you like. More expensive often doesn’t mean better with Orchids.
  3. Get a plant with strong roots. Loot at the bottom of the pot and see if you can see roots through the holes.
  4. Make sure you are buying a sturdy plant. If it is loose in the mix don’t buy it.
  5. If a plant is on sale there is usually a reason. You’ll get a better buy in terms of plant quality and bloom time for your money by choosing a plant that is not on clearance. Those on clearance usually are on their way out.
