Fake VS Real: Blue Orchids Exist! Care Guide & Curiosities

Naturally Blue Orchids: Are They Real? Do They Exist? Yes, they do, and in this video, I'll show you where to find them. First, let's talk about the blue orchid that isn't real. Blue orchids, mostly found in supermarkets and grocery stores, are eye-catchers. These Phalaenopsis orchids display a deep, rich blue that is so uncommon in nature. Even people who are not plant-lovers slow their pace when walking by the mystical, jaw-dropping display, and it’s almost as if you can read their minds. Blue Phalaenopsis orchids are not natural or real. When new buds appeared on a white orchid's flower spike, blue dye was injected into the stem. The blossom in formation turns blue. Blue orchids, which will rebloom with white blossoms, are more expensive due to the dye and the marketing. A blue orchid in nature is rare but can be found. In this video, I'll focus on how to care for your blue orchid and also mention the 3 blue orchids that can be found in nature, (naturally, with no human influence) with no artificial blue orchid dye. Disappointing tip: If the buds haven’t opened into full blossoms when the dye was injected, then the flowers will be a lighter blue. If the flowers were fully opened, the blue will be dark, and mesmerizing. Either way, it won't last beyond that specific bloom, and the orchid will grow back white. So in essence, you paid an expensive price for a normal, plain-white Phalaenopsis orchid.
