Buying guide: how do you choose the finest artificial orchid?.

Different kinds of artificial orchid: how do you choose?

Artificial orchids come in all shapes, sizes and colours too, so you can easily choose the plant that suits your interior style and personal taste. The best artificial orchids are made from high-quality plastic with realistic detail, which makes these beautiful flowers indistinguishable from real orchids.

Vanda artificial orchid

The Vanda artificial orchid comes in on-trend colours such as pink and purple. The petals are edged in a lighter shade, which makes these plants almost impossible to tell from real flowers. This orchid has 3 stems of varying length. The variety works very well at the office, but also brightens up your desk at home. The warm colours of the Vanda orchid suit any living room too.

• Pink and purple
• 3 stems of varying length

Phalaenopsis artificial orchid

This orchid has 3 stems and is relatively large, which makes it a good fit for big rooms or wide windowsills. The phalaenopsis generally has pink or white flowers with natural detail and flower buds. The green leaves at the base and the stems are easy to style and arrange thanks to the flexible wire inside. Its classic, stylish look makes the phalaenopsis a good choice on tables and, of course, on windowsills.

• Pink and white
• 3 stems

Phalaenopsis Blume artificial orchid

This artificial orchid is large and can reach up to 100 centimetres in height. At 60 centimetres it is fairly wide too. The eye-catcher for large meeting rooms and living rooms. The Phalaenopsis Blume carries many flowers in a soft pink and has more leaves than other orchid varieties. Its bendable stems let you shape and arrange the plant exactly as you want.

• Soft pink
• Up to 100 cm

Oncidium or dancing lady artificial orchid

The oncidium is the smallest artificial orchid, but it looks remarkably realistic. It is not called the dancing lady for nothing. It has a rounded base and flowers in white and purple. Its compact size makes this plant suitable for small rooms too, such as the kitchen, the cloakroom or the bathroom.

• White and purple
• Rounded base

How do you decorate with artificial orchids?

Like real orchids, artificial ones are best suited to indoor use. If you also want an artificial orchid on the balcony or terrace, it is wise to choose a UV-resistant version. That prevents damage and fading.

Depending on the size and variety you choose, you can place them on sideboards and cabinets, but also on the windowsill, in the living room or in the kitchen. Are you going for a large artificial orchid such as the Phalaenopsis Blume? Then you can also stand it on the floor in a large pot, in the living room or at your home workspace.
