A 5-inch potted live orchid plant sold seasonally at Costco to celebrate Lunar New Year. Orchids hold deep cultural significance in Chinese tradition, symbolizing good luck, prosperity, and longevity, making them a popular gift and home decoration during the holiday.

The orchid arrives in a 5-inch transparent grow pot, allowing you to monitor root health at a glance. Green, moist roots indicate adequate hydration, while grey or shriveled roots signal it is time to water. Water with approximately 3 oz per week — avoid overwatering. Place in indirect light away from direct sun; coffee tables and kitchen islands are ideal spots. Maintain indoor temperatures between 60°F and 80°F, and protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Bloom life is approximately 6–8 weeks once all flowers are fully open. White varieties tend to last longer than colored ones. After blooms fall, cut the stem just above a node to encourage a second flush of flowers. Fertilizer is not required but optional orchid-specific feed can be applied in small amounts during the growing period.
