Phalaenopsis Orchid Congo Set – Red

Plant description

This Combi Deal includes two Phalaenopsis orchids (variety: Congo), grown for compact indoor styling and a long flowering period. Each plant is delivered at an approximate height of 30–35 cm and comes in a Ø9 cm grow pot with a decorative Potmate cover. The flowers are a deep red with pink undertones, carried on multiple arching stems supported with dark stakes for a neat, upright shape.

The Congo is known for its many smaller blooms along the spike, giving a dense, finished look even in a small format. Because the plants stay relatively low, they work well where taller orchids can feel visually heavy—on a coffee table, a sideboard, or grouped on a shelf. Use the pair together for a balanced arrangement, or place them in separate rooms to repeat a calm accent of colour through the home.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Avoid strong midday sun on the leaves and flowers.
• Watering routine: About once a week. Place the inner grow pot in water for 5–10 minutes, then let it drain thoroughly before returning it to the Potmate or decorative pot.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate household humidity is suitable. Keep away from very dry air directly above radiators.
• Temperature range: Best between 18–21°C; typical indoor temperatures are ideal. Avoid cold draughts and heat sources.

Growth and characteristics

• Plant species: Phalaenopsis (moth orchid), Congo variety
• Approximate height at delivery: 30–35 cm
• Flower type: Many small blooms on branching spikes; red/pink tone
• Growth habit: Compact rosette with sturdy, glossy green leaves; slow-growing as an indoor plant

Placement in the home

Place your orchids where you naturally spend time—on a living room coffee table, a dining table centre, or a hallway console—so you can easily monitor moisture and enjoy the flowers up close. A bright spot near an east- or west-facing window is often ideal. If you only have south light, set the plants a little back from the glass or soften the sun with a sheer curtain.

Care tips

Phalaenopsis orchids prefer a steady routine rather than frequent watering. Always drain well after soaking to prevent water sitting at the roots. During flowering, avoid moving the plant between very different light and temperature conditions, as this can shorten bloom time. Once the flowers fade, you can continue normal care; with consistent light and watering, new spikes may form in the following season.

Please note: as a living product, the number of flower spikes and open blooms may vary slightly at delivery (typically 2–3 sturdy branches depending on availability).
