Orchids are Britain's most baffling houseplant, search data finds
More than 285,000 searches asked how to keep orchids alive, and Houseplant.co.uk said orchid care beat every other houseplant question by about 25 times.
- Analysis of Google search data by Devon nursery Houseplant shows more than 285,000 queries focused on orchid care over a year, beating other houseplant questions by roughly 25 times.
- Rebecca Tapper, founder of Houseplant, attributes the search surge to orchid gifting, as recipients often fear killing expensive plants that drive them to Google for help.
- Tapper added, "Half our job is talking people out of doing too much," explaining that orchids die from overwatering far more often than neglect in Britain.
- British searchers also frequently query care for peace lilies and fungus gnats; Houseplant has delivered more than 350,000 orders since launching from its Paignton, Devon nursery.
- The nursery expects orchid-related anxiety to peak following the Christmas season, when winter gifting places thousands of new Plants in homes across Britain.
