Orchids
These delicate orchids are not as fragile as they seem. They will bloom for months and can live for years with little care. They favour bright, indirect light (an east or west-facing window is best). Water once a week, pending it drains from the lowest of the pot.
White Poinsettia
Jolly Poinsettias are a holiday favourite, but they bloom for months with proper care. Pick one up almost anywhere on vacation. Choose a plant with small yellow flowers, called cyathia, in the centre, not a plant that sheds pollen, which means it’s past its peak and won’t last the season. Cover your plant when you bring it home, especially if it is in the cold 20s or lower. Water when dry to the trace, and don’t let it sit in the water inside the pot’s foil lid. They are picky about re-blooming, so replace them next year.
