Orchid masterclas­s: ways to display

Make your orchids even more eye-catching, with Michael Perry’s glamorous displays

-

You can do so much more with orchids than simply put them on a coffee table by themselves. Moth orchids (or phalaenops­is) can be combined with other plants to create exotic mixed containers, mounted on the wall or even allowed to trail from the ceiling – revealing their natural form. The orchids in these striking mixed displays are kept in their original pots, making it easy for you to lift them out to water them – soak them in the sink and then let them drain before returning them to the container. And always make sure there is no standing water in the base of the outer container.
