Orchids as Gifts

[orchidcareinfo]

I have seen a huge number of orchids being sold as gifts in the past few years. Of my friends who have received them, many end up frustrated with orchids that end up with no flowers.

Do you guys think it is a good idea for people to give orchids as gifts?

Interested in your feedback.

I have started to give orchids as gifts but I always include lots of instructions on how to care for them. I find that once people realize how easy they are they tend to gravitate to these wonderful plants.

I never just give them a plant through the web but first receive and verify it's in good shape. One friend of mine now has three Phal's and they are all doing wonderfully.
