I want to buy a orchid for my dorm room but I dont know how long the bloom lasts. It would be planted in a pot as you would expect and watered. Someone told me they last for months. Is this correct?

Depends on the type--those from the Phalaenopsis family connections last from 1-4 months. yes it does . a cut flower also lasts for in the region of 25 days

You enjoy four good answers already. If you buy your orchid plant from a reliable florist, how's about asking THEM something like the life and bloom production expectancy of the plant you purchase? I agree with "Sunshine" it also depends on how ably you care for the plant too. I have one of these orchids on my kitchen fanlight sill and it's been in flower for nearly 4 months

Answers:    they do last mounths they entail to be in a see though pot which can then be put into a larger decrative pot
they do not requirement a lot of water
when adjectives the blooms have gone DO NOT THROW AWAY cut the stalk back look after it as they can bloom for the subsequent ten years

if you just put orchids into google the first site gives you a lot of info
