White Double-Stem Orchid in Paper-Wrapped Pot

For anyone looking for a refined, understated gift, a white orchid is hard to beat. White orchids stand for purity and grace, and in the language of flowers carry the meaning of everlasting love. This double-stemmed white orchid arrives in a white polymer pot, wrapped in soft newsprint-style paper and finished with natural touches like burlap twine and a dried lemon slice. Understated and modern, it brings a sense of calm to any home or office, and the attached "Made for you" tag lets the recipient know exactly how much thought went into it. Whether it's for a special occasion or simply because, this arrangement makes a graceful, long-lasting gift. Use the note page after checkout to add a few personal lines and make it even more meaningful.

What is actually in it

This arrangement is a single potted white phalaenopsis orchid with two flowering stems, presented in a white polymer pot roughly 13.5 cm wide and 12 cm tall, with the overall arrangement standing 60 to 70 cm including the stems. It's wrapped in layered newsprint-style paper with burlap twine, a dried lemon slice and dried grasses for texture. Small natural variations in leaf shape or bloom count can occur depending on seasonal availability.

What it looks like on day four

As a potted orchid rather than a cut arrangement, this gift keeps going well beyond the usual week or two of cut flowers: the blooms typically stay open for six to ten weeks with the care above, and the plant itself lives on long after that if repotted. Expect the flowers to look their best within the first few weeks of arrival.

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.
