Phalaenopsis Orchid Niagara Falls – White
Plant description
The Kolibri Orchids ‘Niagara Falls’ is a white Phalaenopsis orchid presented in a 12 cm Como decorative pot with an integrated Easy Watering System. At delivery the plant stands at approximately 40 cm tall, with multiple flower stems carrying clean white blooms and a soft yellow centre. The pot has a calm, rounded shape with a subtle wavy texture—designed to sit neatly on a windowsill, sideboard, or desk without asking for constant attention.
This is a ready-to-place indoor orchid arrangement for anyone who wants long-lasting flowers but prefers a simpler watering routine. The hidden reservoir and wick system help the orchid take up moisture gradually, reducing the common risk of overwatering that shortens flowering time.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. Avoid strong midday sun on the leaves and flowers; a light north/east-facing window or filtered light is ideal.
- Watering routine: With the Easy Watering System, top up the reservoir when it is empty. As a general guideline, check weekly; in warmer months it may need water a little more often. Use room-temperature water and avoid letting water sit in the crown (the centre of the leaves).
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (around 40–60%). Normal indoor humidity is usually sufficient; avoid placing directly above radiators.
- Temperature range: Typical indoor temperatures 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Placement in the home
Place the orchid where you spend time—on a kitchen counter, dining table, hallway console, or a calm corner of the living room. Choose a spot with steady daylight but no harsh sun. Consistent conditions help the flowers last longer, so avoid moving the plant frequently and keep it away from fruit bowls (ripening fruit releases ethylene gas, which can shorten bloom life).
Care tips
Keep the leaves clean by wiping them gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. When the flowering period ends, cut the stem above a visible node if it stays green, or remove it fully if it turns brown. Feed lightly with orchid fertiliser during active growth (spring/summer), and always ensure the plant is not sitting in excess water outside the reservoir system.
The Como pot is made from recycled plastic and designed to be reused. The integrated system is practical for busy weeks, holidays, and anyone who tends to water irregularly—without relying on guesswork.
