Phalaenopsis Orchid Congo – Red

Regular price €24,99

Plant description

The Mineral Orchid Congo is a Phalaenopsis orchid known for its compact growth and multiple small red flowers arranged along two to three sturdy stems. This multiflora orchid has a pot size of approximately 9 cm and reaches a height of around 30–35 cm, making it suitable for placement on tables, shelves, or window sills. The vivid red flowers create a clear visual contrast within neutral interiors and pair well with ceramic or terracotta planters.

The plant produces numerous smaller blooms rather than a few large flowers, giving it a balanced and structured appearance. Its compact form makes it practical for smaller spaces where larger plants may not fit, while still adding a noticeable botanical element.

Placement in the home

This orchid is well suited for bright indoor spaces such as living rooms, dining tables, or window areas with filtered light. It can be placed on a coffee table, side table, or shelf where its compact size remains proportionate. Avoid placing the plant near radiators, stoves, or direct heat sources, as dry air can affect flowering.

Care tips

Check the roots before watering. Light grey roots indicate the plant needs water, while green roots suggest sufficient moisture. Allow excess water to drain fully before placing the plant back into a decorative pot. Feed with orchid fertilizer approximately once every two months to support healthy growth and flowering.
