Phalaenopsis Orchid – White, Glossy Green
Plant description
The Kolibri Orchids Lausanne is a live white Phalaenopsis orchid delivered in a 12 cm decorative Commo pot with an integrated Easy Watering System. With its clean white flowers and deep green, glossy leaves, this orchid suits calm, Scandinavian interiors where you want a neat, reliable plant that doesn’t demand constant attention. Approximate height at delivery: 40 cm (including pot and flower stems).
The plant is trained on slim supports for an upright, well-balanced shape. Multiple buds along the stems open gradually, so the display stays consistent over time rather than fading all at once. The Commo pot has a soft, matte look with subtle horizontal shaping; it’s made from recycled plastic and designed to be used again.
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 system draw what the orchid needs. If you prefer traditional watering, water sparingly and allow excess to drain; never leave the roots sitting in water.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (typical indoor levels). In very dry homes, place nearby plants together or use a small tray with pebbles and water (pot not standing in water).
- Temperature range: 18–26 °C. Keep away from cold draughts and direct heat from radiators.
Growth and characteristics
- Plant species: Phalaenopsis (Kolibri Orchids Lausanne)
- Mature height: Typically 40–60 cm indoors (can vary with care and season)
- Leaf / flower type: Thick, oval leaves with long-lasting white flowers; buds open in sequence
- Growth speed: Moderate; new leaves and roots develop steadily in active periods
Placement in the home
Place your white orchid where it gets steady daylight without harsh sun: a dining table, sideboard, bedside table, or a bright kitchen counter away from the hob. In winter, a spot closer to a window often works well; in summer, move it slightly back from the glass to prevent leaf stress. Thanks to the built-in reservoir, it also suits offices and second homes where watering is less frequent.
Care tips
The Easy Watering System is made for predictable, low-effort care: add water to the reservoir from time to time and check it weekly in warmer months. Keep the crown (the centre of the leaves) dry when watering. After flowering, you can keep the stem for potential re-blooming; cut just above a node if the stem stays green, or remove the stem at the base if it turns brown. Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise efficiently.
