What's the fate of an Orchid bouquet?

[grillawoman]

My mother acquired an Phalaenopsis Orchid bouquet that had been used in a wedding. What will happen to the bouquet after it is done flowering, and is there anything we can do to pot them? THANKS!!!

If the florist used just the spike/stems for the bouquet then there is nothing you can do once the flowers fade. You would have to have the roots & leaves intact to pot it and keep the plant growing. If you have the whole plant then this forum will help you to get it growing. If you have just the spikes enjoy them in a vase retrim the bottom of the stem to allow it to get water & change the water a couple times a week. hope this helps
