Festive planter recipe – orchid holiday arrangement

Credit: Terry Guscott

An elegant orchid adds an extra measure of sophistication to a classic holiday arrangement.

1. Incense Cedar
2. Red-tinted Seeded Eucalyptus
3. White Waterfall Style Phalaenopsis Orchid
4. Curly Willow Branches
5. Western White Pine

Fill a 25 cm ceramic container halfway with potting soil. Place orchid in centre. Do not remove orchid from its pot. Fill around this potted orchid with soil. Arrange incense cedar, pine tips and eucalyptus around the orchid, securing the branches by pushing them firmly into the soil. Carefully place curly willow branches around orchid for support as shown in the photo.

Note: Must be kept indoors. Mist greens daily to maintain humidity. Ask for instructions on caring for your Phalaenopsis orchid.
