Nothing says simple elegance like orchids. Dark green leaves offsetting colorful blooms with soft, delicate petals in white or rich, tropical tones in solid colors or speckled. While there are many orchid species to choose from, they all have similar physical characteristics and are easy to spot because of their tall, gently curving stems. Orchids are popular houseplants that typically can be started anytime for indoor growth and are some of the most commonly grown. Provided they have proper growing conditions, it isn’t difficult to learn how to take care of orchids.
