Important Information

As this is a live plant, every Paloma Shorty orchid is naturally unique.

Some blooms may appear creamier, while others may develop more noticeable pink undertones as they mature.

Winter Bloom Advisory: During colder weather, orchids may experience bud or bloom loss due to temperature changes during transportation. New blooms may take approximately 1–12 weeks to develop depending on growing conditions and the individual plant.
