Phalaenopsis Orchid Set – Purple, Two Pack

This set includes two live Phalaenopsis orchids (often called moth orchids) with rich purple, multi-flowering sprays. Each plant is delivered in a grower’s pot Ø9 cm and is approximately 35 cm tall at the time of delivery (measured including the flower spikes). The compact pot size makes the pair easy to place in your own cachepot or decorative planter, while the branching stems carry a high number of buds for a long flowering period.

In the image, the plants show the classic Phalaenopsis form: firm, deep green leaves at the base and upright, staked spikes with rounded flowers and unopened buds. This “Multiflora” style is chosen for its dense bloom and steady habit indoors. Please note that orchids are living products; the exact number of spikes and open flowers can vary. These orchids are supplied with 2–3 sturdy branches per plant depending on availability.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. A light spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal; avoid strong midday sun on the leaves and flowers.
• Watering routine: Water about once a week. Remove the plant from any decorative pot and soak the grower pot in water for 5–10 minutes, then let it drain completely before placing it back. Let the potting medium dry slightly between waterings.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (typical indoor levels are fine). Keep away from very dry heat sources such as radiators.
• Temperature range: Best at 17–22°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature swings.

Growth and characteristics

• Plant species: Phalaenopsis (orchid)
• Approx. size at delivery: ±35 cm tall, pot size Ø9 cm
• Flower type: Purple, multi-flowering spikes with many buds (Multiflora style)
• Growth habit: Compact base with arching flower spikes; typically slow-growing indoors

Placement in the home

Place these orchids where you want colour without visual clutter: on a dining table, a kitchen sideboard, a hallway console, or a bright shelf. They do best in a light room with filtered daylight. Avoid placing them next to a fruit bowl, as ripening fruit releases ethylene gas that can shorten flowering. A spot a little away from a window is often better than directly on the sill in strong sun.

Care tips

• Use the roots as a guide: silvery-grey roots usually mean it’s time to water; greener roots indicate there is still moisture.
• Drain thoroughly: standing water in a cachepot can cause root problems—always let excess water run off.
• Feed lightly: use orchid fertiliser about once every two months during active growth or flowering.
• After flowering: keep caring as normal; new spikes often develop under good light and steady temperatures.
