Easy DIY: Orchid Planter

Acting features editor Wendy Jacob shares a easy idea for an indoor garden.

Inspired by the orchid arrangements in the palm beach home developed by Les Ensembliers in the June 2016 issue of house & Home, I created a lush planter for a window with filtered light, or a shady patio table in summer (shield Phalaenopsis orchids from direct sunlight or they’ll burn).

You’ll need a ceramic planter that’s high enough to conceal the orchid pots, four or five plants, as well as a small bag of orchid soil. I applied silicone to the drainage hole of this planter first so it’s less messy as well as simpler to move.

Place the pots in the container as well as arrange so the flowers cascade outward. Backfill the center with orchid soil to help hold the pots in place as well as then distribute the soil over the containers to disguise the pots.
