Types of orchids that will suit your home
An orchid’s an orchid, right? Aren’t they all the same? Not at all.
Orchids are a plant family containing thousands of species. Most aren’t suitable as houseplants, but a handful - such as the Phalaenopsis - love indoor climates and are as easy to care for as an Anthurium or Philodendron.
Join us below to discover the best orchids for your home.
Phalaenopsis orchids make perfect houseplants
Moth orchids adapt to indoor conditions better than any other orchid variety available today. easyplant offers six Phalaenopsis colors that bloom for months without complicated care routines:
The self-watering system takes the guesswork out of the trickiest part of orchid care. You refill every two months instead of monitoring moisture levels every few days.
Why Phalaenopsis beats other orchid types
Cattleyas require greenhouse conditions that most homes can't provide without significant humidity modifications. Dendrobiums need cool winter rest periods that central heating systems prevent from occurring.
Your home already provides everything Phalaenopsis orchids need - normal 65-75°F temperatures work perfectly. Unlike fussy varieties, these adapt to typical indoor humidity without brown leaf tips appearing.
Orchid colors to consider
Light pink brings subtle elegance
Soft pink blooms complement neutral decor without overwhelming your existing color scheme choices. The cream-colored planter option enhances the delicate flower tones throughout the blooming period.
Light pink on a nightstand starts your day with a color that excites you without being jarring. Modern interiors stay uncluttered when you choose this understated shade over bolder options.
Pink orchids bridge the gap between stark minimalism and lived-in warmth many people want. The color works harder than white but doesn't demand constant attention like purple.
Yellow orchids energize any space
North-facing rooms feel brighter when yellow orchid blooms catch whatever light enters the space. Paired with a turquoise planter, the combination brings unexpected energy to forgotten corners.
Yellow orchids also stand out against dark wood furniture or navy walls without clashing harshly. You get maximum visual impact from just one plant in the correct location.
Striped pink offers unique patterns
Pink stripes on white petals give you variety without committing to solid, bold colors. Each bloom displays slightly different striping patterns for visual interest that changes daily.
A white planter keeps focus on the intricate flower patterns rather than competing. Striped orchids become conversation pieces when placed on coffee tables or entryway consoles.
Dark pink makes bold statements
Deep pink blooms command attention without the intensity of red or purple options. The calm rose planter softens the bold flowers just enough for everyday living spaces.
Dining rooms benefit from dark pink's ability to create an intimate ambiance during dinner parties. The rich color holds up well under artificial lighting, unlike paler shades.
Dark pink orchids anchor gallery walls or bookshelf styling with organic shapes and colors. You avoid the artificial look of fake flowers but get lasting color impact.
White orchids suit everything
Pure white blooms work in any room regardless of your decorating style or colors. The shiny egg-white planter adds subtle texture without distracting from the elegant flowers.
White orchids let you change the surrounding decor without worrying about color clashes ever. Seasonal decorating becomes easier when your permanent plants stay neutral all year long.
Professional spaces like home offices benefit from white orchids' clean, organized appearance. The timeless color choice never goes out of style or looks dated.
Purple orchids add drama
Spotted purple blooms in eternal gray planters create sophisticated focal points without overwhelming rooms. The muted planter color balances the intense flower shade for everyday enjoyment.
Purple works best as an accent rather than grouping multiple purple orchids. One dramatic plant makes more impact than several competing for visual attention simultaneously.
Living rooms with neutral palettes gain personality from a single purple orchid strategically placed. The color adds luxury without requiring a complete decor overhaul or commitment.
Choosing colors for your lifestyle
Your daily habits shape which orchid colors work best in your space over time. Early risers often pick yellow or white orchids that look fresh in morning light.
Purple and dark pink orchids come alive under lamplight after sunset hours. The deeper tones that might feel heavy at noon create ambiance at night.
Kitchens and entryways need orchids that blend rather than compete for attention. Save your yellow orchid for the corner where you notice it.
Orchid colors lock you into decor choices for years of blooming ahead. White orchids let you redecorate freely, but purple demands you work around it.
Mix colors for maximum impact
Different colored orchids in various rooms create unique atmospheres throughout your entire home. Your bedroom stays calm with light pink, and your kitchen is more vibrant with purple and dark pink varieties.
Grouping two or three different colors creates professional-looking displays without trying hard. The varying heights and bloom positions add natural movement to any surface.
