Orchids are the ideal gift to express deep admiration and affection in a non-verbal way. The message will be conveyed even more impressively if you package the exotic plant beautifully. Find out how to properly pack this demanding flower here.
How to wrap an orchid as a gift?
To properly wrap an orchid, choose transparent gift wrap, fold the corners so that they meet above the orchid and secure them with tape. Then tie the foil together with ribbon in a matching color and tie an eye-catching bow.
Beautifully packaged in transparent gift wrap – this is how it works
To ensure that an orchid presents its magnificent appearance flawlessly after unpacking, it should not be cut off from light at any time. With clear or iridescent gift foil you can create an attractive look and not banish the capricious plant into the dark. Add the finishing touch to the floral present with gift ribbon that matches the color of the flower. Follow these steps:
- Roll out the film on the table to the required length by eye
- Unfold two opposite corners so that they meet above the orchid
- Measure enough gift wrap to leave enough space for the decorative ribbon
- Unfold the remaining corners as well, hold them with one hand and secure them with transparent adhesive tape
If there are any unwanted openings within the film, you can close them with adhesive tape. Now take the gift ribbon and tie the gift wrap together. Please measure the length of the binding material so that you can tie an eye-catching bow. Finally, pull the foil and tape into perfect shape.
Tips for the right ribbon
Simple gift ribbon from the discount store doesn't do justice to the royal orchid hidden underneath. With a high-quality material, such as delicate organza (€12.00 at Amazon), shimmering satin or iridescent taffeta, you can underline the value of the present and create a decorative eye-catcher that arouses curiosity.
Tip
The magnificent appearance of a Phalaenopsis is marred by the tangle of numerous aerial roots. The aesthetic problem is quickly solved with a pretty planter. Please use a special flower pot for orchids. This has a practical pedestal inside for the transparent culture pot, so that no fatal waterlogging can occur.
