Phalaenopsis Orchid Niagara Fall – Pink

Plant description

The Kolibri Orchids Phalaenopsis “Niagara Fall” is a live, flowering orchid with soft pink blooms and a deeper pink centre. Delivered in a Ø9 cm pot with a matching potmate cover, it is sized for shelves, side tables, window-ledges and desks. At delivery, the plant is typically around 35–45 cm tall, including the flowering stems.

Phalaenopsis orchids are valued for their clean silhouette and long-lasting flowers. “Niagara Fall” carries multiple blossoms along upright stems, supported by slim stakes for a neat, composed look. The broad, glossy green leaves form a compact base, giving the plant a balanced shape even in smaller rooms.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. A spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal; avoid strong midday sun that can scorch leaves.
• Watering routine: Water about once a week. The most reliable method is to soak the inner grow pot in lukewarm water for 5–10 minutes, then let it drain thoroughly before placing it back into the decorative pot cover. Let the roots approach dryness between waterings.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (typical indoor levels). If the air is very dry, occasional misting around the plant (not into the crown) or placing it nearby other plants can help.
• Temperature range: Comfortable indoor temperatures of 18–21°C are ideal. Keep away from radiators, underfloor heating vents, and cold drafts.

Placement in the home

Place this orchid where you spend time and can enjoy the flowers up close: on a dining table, a hallway console, or a bedside surface. For reliable flowering, choose a bright spot with stable temperatures—many customers find a windowsill with filtered light works well. If your home has lower light in winter, keep it as close to natural daylight as possible without exposing it to harsh sun.

Care tips

Phalaenopsis orchids prefer consistency. Avoid leaving water standing in the pot cover, as wet roots can decline quickly. If you notice silvery roots, it is usually time to water; bright green roots indicate sufficient moisture. After flowering, you can cut the spike above a node for a chance of a side shoot, or cut it lower to encourage the plant to rest and build strength for the next bloom cycle.
