Phalaenopsis Morelia Orchid Set – Purple

Plant description

This set includes two purple Phalaenopsis (Morelia) orchids arranged in a low Como dish planter with a discreet water reservoir and wick system. The planter is made from recycled plastic and has a calm, softly rounded silhouette with a subtle horizontal texture, finished in white. At delivery, the arrangement is approximately 35 cm tall, with compact plants in 9 cm nursery pots placed neatly side by side.

The Morelia orchid is known for its saturated bloom colour and tidy growth habit. Each plant carries upright stems with multiple flowers and unopened buds, giving you a display that develops gradually rather than peaking all at once. Broad, firm green leaves sit low at the base, creating a balanced look in a shallow dish planter—ideal for tables and surfaces where you want height without a large footprint.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is best. A few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon sun is fine; avoid strong midday sun on the leaves and flowers.
• Watering routine: Keep the reservoir topped up occasionally so the wick can draw water when needed. As a general rhythm, check the water level weekly and refill when low. If the potting mix feels constantly wet, reduce refilling and let it dry slightly between top-ups.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity suits Phalaenopsis well (around 40–60%). In very dry rooms, place the arrangement away from radiators and consider light misting around (not into) the flowers.
• Temperature range: Typical indoor temperatures of 18–26°C. Avoid cold drafts and prolonged exposure below 15°C.

Growth and characteristics

• Plant species: Phalaenopsis (Morelia)
• Approximate size at delivery: About 35 cm tall (including flower stems)
• Leaf / flower type: Thick, oval leaves with long-lasting purple blooms on upright stems
• Growth speed: Moderate; typically produces new leaves gradually and sends up new flower spikes seasonally with good light

Placement in the home

Place the Como dish on a dining table, kitchen island, sideboard, or bedroom dresser where it receives steady daylight without harsh sun. Phalaenopsis orchids also work well in a bright home office or hallway with a window, especially if you prefer a plant that stays compact and tidy.

Care tips

To keep flowering strong, rotate the dish every week for even growth and remove faded blooms as they finish. When a stem is fully finished, you can trim it back; if it remains green, it may rebloom. Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise efficiently.

The easy watering reservoir is designed for more consistent moisture with less guesswork. For best results, do not let the roots sit in standing water—use the reservoir as a buffer and refill little and often rather than flooding it.
