Mini Purple Orchid Duo with Echeveria in a Terracotta Pot

Elegant, understated and always a little different, the orchid holds a special place among flowering plants, and this mini duo makes the most of it. Two double-stemmed mini purple orchids share a terracotta-toned ceramic pot with two Echeveria "Perle von Nürnberg" succulents, their dusty rosettes adding a soft, textural contrast to the orchids' colour. Compact enough for a desk or a side table, it makes an original surprise for a birthday or to mark good news. After checkout, use the gift note page to add a personal message of your own.

What is actually in it

This gift combines two double-stemmed mini purple orchid plants (four flowering stems in total) with two Echeveria "Perle von Nürnberg" succulents, each about 5.5 cm, planted together in a terracotta-toned ceramic pot 8 cm tall and 13 cm wide. Overall height is 20 to 30 cm. Small natural variations in leaf shape or bloom count can occur depending on seasonal availability.

What it looks like on day four

As potted plants rather than a cut arrangement, this duo keeps going well beyond the usual week or two of cut flowers. With the care above, the orchids typically stay in flower for six to ten weeks, while the Echeveria succulents thrive for months with only occasional watering.

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

Orchids like bright spots but not direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, so keep the pot somewhere it gets plenty of indirect light, for example behind a curtain. Water with lime-free water using the soak method: submerge the roots fully, let them drink, then drain off any excess water thoroughly before setting the pot back in place. In summer, water roughly every five days; in winter, once a week is enough. With the right care, this orchid will stay healthy and in flower for a long time.

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.
