Four-Stem Mini Orchids with Succulents in a Grey Pot

A small indoor garden that lasts for months. Two double-stem mini orchids give four arching sprays of pink blooms, planted together with a spiky haworthia and a dusty-rose echeveria succulent in a low grey ribbed pot. Dried orange slices tied with raffia and a touch of purple limonium add warmth and detail. Orchids are a symbol of elegance and refinement, and this compact design sits happily on a desk, a shelf or a reception counter, which makes it a favourite for thanking a colleague, welcoming a new client or bringing life to a new home. It needs very little care and will keep flowering long after cut flowers would have gone. Delivered the same day across Istanbul.

What is actually in it

Exactly two double-stem mini orchids (four flower spikes), one Haworthia limifolia and one Echeveria 'Perle von Nürnberg' succulent, with dried orange slices, raffia and purple limonium, in a grey ribbed polymer pot 7 cm tall and 15.5 cm wide, about 25 to 30 cm tall in total. Orchid shades can vary slightly.

What it looks like on day four

Orchids are among the longest-lasting gifts: a healthy plant typically stays in flower for two to three months, and with the right light and watering it can rebloom later. Slight differences in shade from the photo are natural for orchids.

We photograph every listing on the bench under daylight. The image you are looking at is the arrangement, not a mood board.

Orchids like a bright spot out of direct sun, behind a sheer curtain is ideal. Water by dipping the pot in lime-free water until the roots are soaked, then let it drain completely before putting it back: about every five days in summer and once a week in winter. Never leave water standing at the bottom of the pot.

The five things that actually matter

1. Recut the stems. Two centimetres off at a 45° angle, under running water if you can. Air locks in the stem are the main cause of early droop.
2. Strip leaves below the waterline. Submerged foliage rots and turns the water bacterial within a day.
3. Change the water, do not just top it up. Every two days, with the sachet we include.
4. Keep them away from fruit. Ripening fruit releases ethylene, which ages cut flowers dramatically faster.
5. Cool and out of direct sun. A radiator or a sunny windowsill will halve the vase life of anything.

Do all five and you should see nine days from this bouquet rather than five. The long version is in the journal.

Delivery

Same-day delivery is available across all 39 districts of Istanbul, on the same nine daily delivery windows from 09:00 to 22:00. Delivery is always free, on every order, everywhere we deliver in Istanbul, no threshold, no surcharge.

We deliver in our own vans with our own drivers. That is more expensive than handing it to a parcel courier, and it is the reason 98.2% of orders land inside the window you chose.

Substitution policy

Fresh flowers are an agricultural product. Occasionally the market does not have what we planned for, especially with seasonal stems like peonies. When that happens we do one of two things, and never anything else:

• Substitute a stem of equal or greater value in the same colour family, and email you a photograph before dispatch so you can approve it or cancel for a full refund.
• If no acceptable substitute exists, we call you. We will not quietly send something different and hope you do not notice.

Cancellations

Change or cancel free until 18:00 the day before delivery. After that the flowers are cut and conditioned specifically for your order, so cancellation is not possible — this is the perishable-goods exception under distance-selling rules, and it is stated again at checkout before you pay.
