With proper care your potted orchid should live at least 20 years if not more.

Orchids and even potted orchids with proper care are expected to live up to 100 years or sometimes longer.

If you don't take good care of the potted orchid they may not live past a year or two but as long as you maintain and take proper care of the orchid it should live a long time.

I have a couple of orchids that are 10 years old and doing really good right now and I expect the potted orchids to live another 10 years or even more.

The orchids may even outlast me and then maybe my kids will continue to care for them when I die but I doubt it.
