Tired of the snow? Had enough of the cold weather? UConn Blooms has the right prescription, a beautiful Phalaenopsis orchid to give you color and long lasting enjoyment! Our latest crop of orchids require a bright light location but no direct sunlight. Keep it moist and in most instances that means just 2 ice cubes a week. These primitive and mysterious plants will pique your interest with their beautiful moth like flowers. You could use a little bit of Tahiti right now!
And if it's the desert that you crave, we have a wonderful assortment of cacti and succulents in all different shapes and sizes. These easy care plants just need lots of direct sunlight and only require to be watererd once every two weeks. Sturdy, funky and hardy, cactus and succulents love neglect.
