Appearance of a remarkable diva
If you dedicate an international day to a plant, it's because it has succeeded. And the orchid just happens to be one of the most popular plants, especially in winter. There are more than 25,000 species to choose from. So, it's more than likely
that you too will find an orchid to suit you and your home.
After all, this magnificent plant comes in an incredible number of colors and varieties, with the most diverse patterns and drawings. That's why it adapts to just about anything in terms of radiance. It can be elegant, chic, and stylish, but also cheerful
or even punk. Moreover, it is not difficult to handle.
It likes it bright (but not full sun), needs water only once a week and some orchid food once a month. An ideal partner! And that's why International Orchid Day
is a great opportunity to surprise someone.
