Some of the photos featured are photo of what the plant will look like when in bloom. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWhile the blooms are not the main attraction for these plants (their foliage is), they do add an extra touch of beauty once a year, usually winter and early spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is an easy indoor plant to care for. A mature Jewel Orchid that is several years old and has received good care will eventually produce multiple growths and spread out. When it's time for the plant to flower, the growths will each produce a flowering spike that grows upwards quickly. Once ready the flower buds will open and show off many little white flowers which certainly create a lasting impression. Keep the plant away from any harsh sunlight that filters through during the day. Comes in a 4” nursery pot. It can handle low light. Water the plant well and then wait until it's drying out before watering again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in the following packaging based on your preference:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNursery Pot - Standard plastic 4-inch planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eValentina Terracotta Pot 5\" - a beautiful molded terracotta pot that is porous and fire glazed to allow plant roots to breathe; color works well with any decor and will develop a beautiful patina color over time.
