Phalaenopsis Moth Orchid Ghent – White

Plant description

The Kolibri Orchids White “Ghent” is a live Phalaenopsis (moth orchid) presented as a ready-to-place indoor plant in a 12 cm Como pot. The plant has slender, staked flower stems with crisp white blooms and fresh green buds above a base of broad, glossy leaves. Total height at delivery is approximately 45 cm. The Como pot is made from recycled plastic and includes a discreet Easy Watering System with a wick and small reservoir, designed to make orchid care more consistent.

In the image, the pot has a calm, Scandinavian look with a softly rounded, lightly structured surface and a pale, muted tone that works well with light woods, stone, and neutral textiles. This combination is suited to anyone who wants the clarity of a white orchid without the usual guesswork around watering.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning or evening sun is fine; avoid strong midday sun.
• Watering routine: Keep the reservoir topped up occasionally and let the wick draw up water as needed. As a general rule, check weekly and add a small amount when the reservoir is low. Avoid leaving the pot constantly overfilled.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (typical indoor levels). In very dry rooms, occasional misting around the plant (not into the flowers) can help.
• Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts, radiators, and fruit bowls (ethylene can shorten flowering).

Placement in the home

Place this orchid where you spend time and can enjoy the flowering stems up close: on a dining table, a hallway console, a bedside cabinet, or a bright bathroom shelf. The key is steady, indirect daylight. If you place it on a windowsill, use a sheer curtain or keep it slightly back from the glass to avoid hot sun and cold nights.

Care tips

Orchids prefer an even routine. With the integrated watering system, the goal is gentle, continuous moisture rather than occasional heavy watering. Rotate the pot every couple of weeks for balanced growth. Remove spent flowers as they fade; when a stem finishes, you can trim it back to encourage the plant to rest and prepare for the next flowering cycle. Wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise efficiently.

If you fertilise, use an orchid fertiliser at a low dose during the active growing season. Avoid fertiliser in a dry reservoir; add it to water at a diluted strength.
