Phalaenopsis Orchid, Rhipsalis Set – Orange
This Jungle Bouquet combines three orange Phalaenopsis (moth) orchids with three Rhipsalis plants, arranged in a white Honey Dish planter with an integrated water reservoir and wick system. Designed for easy everyday care, the reservoir helps keep moisture consistent while the orchids and greenery create a compact, structured arrangement for tables, sideboards, and reception areas. Approximate height at delivery: 35 cm.
In the image, the orchids show multiple flower spikes with warm orange blooms and a clean, arching form. The glossy, dark-green leaves sit low and dense, while the rhipsalis adds a soft, cactus-like texture around the base. The planter has a subtle faceted surface and a calm, Scandinavian feel that suits minimalist interiors without competing with other materials in the room.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid strong midday sun, especially in south-facing windows. Tolerates medium light, but flowering lasts longer with brighter placement.
- Watering routine: Use the reservoir as your guide. Keep water available for the wicks, but avoid letting the orchid roots sit in water. As a rule, top up when the reservoir is low and the bark feels almost dry; in cooler seasons, this is often less frequent.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (around 40–60%). Normal indoor levels are usually fine; avoid placing near radiators or very dry draughts.
- Temperature range: Typical indoor temperatures 18–26°C. Keep away from cold windows in winter and sudden temperature swings.
Growth and characteristics
- Plant species: Phalaenopsis orchid (Bolzano, 9 cm grow pot) and Rhipsalis
- Leaf / flower type: Phalaenopsis with broad, leathery leaves and long-lasting orange blooms; rhipsalis with slender segmented stems for added texture
- Growth habit: Upright flowering spikes with a compact base; rhipsalis grows gently outward and can trail over time
- Growth speed: Moderate; orchids typically flower in cycles, with resting periods between blooms
Placement in the home
Place the arrangement where you spend time and can enjoy it up close: on a dining table, a hallway console, a kitchen sideboard, or a coffee table. For best results, choose a spot with steady daylight but no harsh direct sun. The reservoir system also makes it a practical choice for offices, holiday homes, and homes where watering is sometimes forgotten.
Care tips
- Using the water reservoir: Fill the reservoir up to the indicated level. Ensure the water does not rise so high that orchid roots sit in water—orchids prefer airy roots.
- Wick system: The wicks draw water upward gradually. Make sure the ends remain submerged and check the level weekly.
- After flowering: When blooms fade, cut the spike above a node for a chance of re-bloom, or cut lower to encourage the plant to rest and recover.
- General upkeep: Wipe leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesise efficiently.
