Phalaenopsis Orchid Set – Pink, White

Plant description

The Hummingbird Orchids Phalaenopsis ‘Pirate Picotee’ combi deal includes 4 flowering orchids, each supplied in a Ø12 cm pot and an approximate delivery height of 43 cm. This is a classic indoor Phalaenopsis with arching flower spikes and thick, glossy green leaves. The blooms show a distinctive picotee-style colour gradient: a deeper pink centre that softens towards lighter pink and warm peach tones at the edges.

Each plant is set up for easy living: the flower spikes are supported with slim stakes and clips (as shown), helping the stems stay upright and reducing the risk of breakage near windows or in high-traffic areas. With multiple buds per plant, you can expect an extended flowering period as new flowers open in sequence.

Phalaenopsis orchids are often chosen for their reliable performance indoors. They suit modern Scandinavian interiors where you want colour and freshness without a large footprint—ideal for sideboards, shelves, and dining tables.

Plant care

• Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon sun is fine; avoid strong midday sun that can scorch leaves.
• Watering routine: Water sparingly when the potting mix is nearly dry (typically every 7–10 days, depending on season). Let excess water drain fully—never leave the pot standing in water.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (around 40–60%). Normal home humidity is usually sufficient; avoid placing next to radiators.
• Temperature range: Comfortable indoor temperatures between 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below ~15°C.

Growth and characteristics

• Plant species: Phalaenopsis orchid (moth orchid), cultivar ‘Pirate Picotee’
• Approx. size at delivery: Around 43 cm tall, pot size Ø12 cm
• Leaf / flower type: Thick, oval leaves; long-lasting flowers on arching spikes with a pink-to-peach picotee gradient
• Growth speed: Slow to moderate; typically produces new leaves year-round and new spikes after a rest period

Placement in the home

Place your orchids where the light is stable and soft: a bright living room, a kitchen counter away from the hob, or a bedroom windowsill with filtered light. Grouping all four together creates a calm, cohesive look, while splitting them across rooms gives continuity throughout the home. Keep blooms away from fruit bowls, as ripening fruit can shorten flower life.

Care tips

Use lukewarm water and aim it at the potting mix, not into the leaf crown (the centre where leaves meet), to reduce the risk of rot. After flowering, don’t discard the plant—Phalaenopsis can rebloom. When the last flower drops, you can trim the spike above a node for a chance of a side shoot, or cut it back to the base to encourage a fresh spike later. Feed lightly with orchid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth.
