How many Cymbidiums Orchids are in a box and what is the size of each stem?
Joshua sells mostly boxes with 8 stems per box and 10 stems per box, but also some with 6 or 12 stems. The length of the stems in the 8 stem box is longer than the ones in the 10 stem box. Boxes are sold as a mix of colours or as a box with mono colours. Special requests can be ordered via our exporter NZ Bloom, our importer Glores or our importer GreenWings.
Please note: the stem part without blooms is about the same length as the flower head (we aim for 50% stem and 50% flowers).

How many Cymbidiums Orchids are in a box?
Joshua sells mostly boxes with 8 or 10 stems per box, but we also can supply boxes with 6 or 12 stems per box.
The 6 stem box is the longest stems that we produce but because of the airfreight it is quite expensive. The 8 stem box is the slightly smaller and more affordable. The 10 and 12 stem boxes are cheaper but shorter. We supply both mono and mixed colour boxes. Please talk to your exporter or wholesaler if you have special requests or send us an e-mail (sales@joshua.co.nz).

How can I make a nice arrangement with a Cymbidium Orchid?
Just a single Cymbidium Orchid stem in a vase is already stunning and gives a luxury impression. The single blooms can be easily used for (table) arrangements or in a bouquet. But lots of other stylish ways of floral design are possible by cutting the Orchid stems and arranging them in different ways. Please check our pin boards on Pinterest for plenty of creative ideas for Cymbidium arrangements.
