Phaelenopsis orchid plants cultivated especially for our shop by our growers in Suffolk County, Long Island, NY
Orchids require watering once or twice a week in summer, and every 10-14 days in the winter. They enjoy being near a window, and require some exposure to sunlight for optimum growth. The blossoms last for 4-5 weeks before dropping off. The orchid plant will bloom again after a period of dormancy. To encourage new growth, clip off the spike of the orchid above the third node (bump on stem) after the initial flowers have completely faded.
Choose from white, purple, green or pink.
Ask for availability of other shades, such as red, purple or marble!

Spathyphylum (Peace Lily) - Name – Spathi means spathe (part of the sail-like "flower"); phyllum means leaf = spathe like a leaf. Origin – South and Central America. Colors – White flowers, green leaves Care Tips – Plants will droop when they need watering - but try to water them before they do this! Peace lilies are unlike other plants in that if they are reluctant to flower, put them somewhere less bright. Most other plants will flower better when the light is brighter. Trivia - Currently second most popular houseplant in the USA according to F&PA surveys. These are available in several sizes, from desktop to floor plant.

Bromedilad

Bromeliads are hardy, stiff leaved plants from the tropics, with built in reservoirs to trap rainwater.

They do well indoors in low to partial sunlight. Do not put your new plant in the full sun, near a hot light bulb or next to a window that can act as a magnifying glass with the sun and burn your plant. Low to bright-defused light will be just fine.

After your Bromeliad has found the perfect spot, next comes the care of your plant. The BIGGEST mistake is over watering your new plant! ! ! Remember, when your plant is in a container where water can sit and not drain, your Bromeliad can rot!
Put a half-cup of water in the center of the plant known as the "cup" of the Bromeliad. Next, water the potting mix where the plant is in with another half-cup of water. When the mix dries out, then, and only then add another half-cup of water. In most cases, watering is only once a week, but you need to determine the exact watering cycle in your situation by checking your plant symptoms. A "'rolled" leaf indicates too little water and you need to get a lot of water fast to the "cup" of the plant.. Likewise, when the center of the "cup" dries out, add another half-cup of water.
Your Bromeliad will love a misting all over from a quart sprayer once or twice a week. Good air movement by your plant prolongs it's life and health.
