In today's design tutorial, we'll be tackling a common challenge faced by many flower enthusiasts like Jasmine. She's struggling to arrange a couple of stems of phalaenopsis orchids in a tall rounded bubble vase. The main issues she's facing are getting the stems to stay upright without toppling over and achieving the right heights for a natural and balanced look. But fret not, I've got you covered!
One of the first questions that arise is: what foliage works best with these elegant orchids? Nature has already provided us with beautiful orchid leaves, but using fresh ones can be tricky due to their short stems. That's where artificial foliage comes to the rescue! Faux stems come complete with several leaves, authentic aerial roots, and a decent stem length that makes them easy to insert into any container without the fear of them falling out.
If you don't have access to artificial foliage, don't worry! There are other options that work well as companions for your orchids. Personally, I recommend using monster or philodendron leaves, as they bring a touch of lushness to the arrangement. Additionally, trusty ferns or palm leaves always make perfect partners for orchids.
Now let's move on to the materials you'll need for this project:
- A glass bubble vase or any desired vase with a tall rounded shape.
- Three long stems of phalaenopsis orchids (these can be fresh or artificial, depending on your preference).
- Orchid foliage (artificial foliage is highly recommended for ease of use).
- Monster or philodendron leaves (if artificial orchid foliage is not available).
- Fern fronds (an alternative option for foliage).
With these materials gathered, you'll be ready to create a stunning display of phalaenopsis orchids in your chosen vase. Follow along as we guide you through the process and share our tips and tricks to achieve a beautiful, balanced arrangement that will impress anyone who lays eyes on it.
