An Oriental orchid with broad, long leaves in a deep green, sweeping outward.
Oriental orchid (dongyangnan) goes to a shop opening, a promotion or a new post, and it is grown for the leaf rather than the bloom. This one carries no variegation at all — one even colour, which is why the shape of the leaves reads so clearly.
The flowers are an elegant red-brown with a quiet scent, and they come around the turn of the year, so the plant is known as the orchid that announces the new year. It is planted in a blackish ceramic pot painted with an orchid in gold, with gold trim.
Keep it in a bright room out of direct sun. Water well when the surface of the compost has dried, and mist the leaves now and then to keep them fresh.

Looking after it
- Light Bright shade. Direct sun scorches the leaves — a step or two back from a window is right.
- Water When the bark on top is dry, water until it runs out of the bottom. Better than a little and often.
- Air Somewhere the air moves. Roots suffer in a closed corner.
- Winter Keep it above 10°C and out of the path of a heater.
- After flowering Cut the spent spike away and enjoy the leaves. With a Korean orchid, the line of the leaf is half the point.
Questions people ask
What occasion is a Korean orchid for?
Promotions, new posts, formal thanks — the Korean orchid is what people send when the occasion calls for restraint. It flowers for a long time and the foliage stays neat on a desk or in a reception area.
Will it arrive in flower?
That depends on the season and on the plant. Some go out in flower, some with the spike still rising. If it matters that it arrives in bloom, tell us before you order and we will check what we have that day.
How big is it?
About 50–60cm tall including the pot. Spend more and you get more spikes and a larger plant.
What goes on the ribbon?
Your message and your name, printed as you write it. Four-character Chinese phrases such as 祝 昇進 are the convention here, but English or Korean is fine — we print exactly what you type.
Can I change or cancel the order?
Until we start making it up, yes — message us on the live chat with your order number. Once the florist has started, we can no longer change it.
Sancheon Bose (Winter) — how to keep it
Broad, long, deep-green leaves arch outward, with reddish-brown flowers and a quiet scent; it blooms around the New Year. In a bright room out of direct sun, water thoroughly when the surface soil has dried. Misting the leaves occasionally keeps them looking fresh for longer.
Sending a Korean orchid
A cymbidium in a ceramic pot is the traditional Korean gift for a promotion, a retirement, a new office or a formal congratulation. It is understood as the dignified choice — restrained rather than showy — and it is usually placed where visitors will see it.
A ribbon carrying your name and the occasion phrase is attached to the pot, so please write the sender name exactly as you want it read.
