This beauty has been in a jar for 5 months now and its at about 65% roots capacity (with 5 varieties of plants). We normally send our living bouquets out at about 30% so that way it has more room for growth and you won't have to switch out jars or change to soil as quickly. You will have months and months of enjoyment from our living bouquets before you need to do anything besides change the water.

Lets talk Orchids!! How many orchids have you killed? I will be the first to raise my hand and say that I never had luck with orchids. That was until we started water rooting them!

So why is it so easy to kill an orchid? The problem is they are epiphytes (basically an air plant) but stores sell them in soil, sphagnum moss, and tree bark. This kind of media absorbs and stores too much water usually causing the roots to rot away. Or on the opposite end, you put the plant in a window and completely forget it and the roots all dry up.

The beauty of growing your orchid in water is the plant can drink as much water as it wants but also receive all of the oxygen that it so desperately needs to its roots (the crown of the plant MUST stay dry). The transition from soil to water can be a little tedious and sends the plant into a stress period, but after some TLC these plants recover and begin to thrive. Message us if you are ready to have an orchid living in your home!

FUN FACTS ABOUT ORCHIDS:
-Orchids are the largest family of flowering plants, with between 22,000 and 26,000 species
-Orchids are one of the oldest flowers in existence and have been around longer than mammals and birds.
-Orchids take about 5-7 years to bloom once germinated. Plants sold in stores are already decades old and can live up to 100 years old!
-In nature, most orchids are epiphytes. As such, they grow on trees without actually depending on them for food. Instead, they use their roots to attach to tree branches and absorb nutrients from the air, rainwater, and organic debris that falls through the leaves.

How do you know when it is time for a new jar? Or should you replant in soil?

As a rule of thumb, when a plant is propagated or water rooted, the roots should be 2 inches long at a minimum before switching to soil. The longer the roots, the more transportation system you have for pulling in water, oxygen, and nutrients. However, most of our plants can continually thrive in water as long as proper nutrients are supplemented and the water is changed routinely.

The choice is yours. If your plant is doing well, but the roots have become a little too tight, you can simply find a larger jar to accommodate its thriving beauty.

If you are still unsure of what you want to do, you can always send us a photo of your plant with a message. We love to see our plants thrive and are always here to help!

Syngonium Podophyllum is a species of aroid that is a popular houseplant. Common names include the Arrowhead Plant or Arrowhead Vine. In the wild, the leaves are dark green and without variegation. Cultivated varieties have leaves in various shades of green, often light green and sometimes with shades of pink. This plant can be easily grown in soil or thrive fully rooted in water.
