Plant Set – Phalaenopsis, Crassula, Turquoise Ceramic
Plant description
This plant set pairs a white Phalaenopsis orchid (Amabilis) in a Ø9 cm pot with a Crassula ‘Hobbit’ succulent in a Ø6 cm pot, both placed in glossy turquoise ceramic decorative pots shaped with subtle fish relief. The larger plant reaches an approximate height of 35 cm at delivery. It’s a calm, compact duo designed for shelves, sideboards and windows where you want living greenery with clear, simple care routines.
The Phalaenopsis orchid is known for its clean, arching stems and round white flowers with soft yellow centres. The Crassula ‘Hobbit’ adds structure and contrast with tubular, finger-like leaves in fresh green tones. The pots have a smooth glazed surface that is easy to wipe clean, and the sculpted handle detail makes them feel more like small objects than standard planters.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Orchid: bright, indirect light (east or north-facing window is ideal). Succulent: bright light; a few hours of gentle sun is beneficial. Avoid harsh midday sun on the orchid blooms.
- Watering routine: Orchid: water sparingly when the potting medium is almost dry (often every 7–10 days). Let excess water drain; never leave roots standing in water. Succulent: water only when the soil has dried out completely; reduce significantly in winter.
- Humidity preferences: Orchid: moderate humidity; normal indoor levels are fine, avoid placing directly above a radiator. Succulent: low to moderate humidity; good airflow helps keep leaves firm.
- Temperature range: Both plants thrive at typical indoor temperatures of 18–26°C. Keep away from cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.
Growth and characteristics

Placement in the home
Place the orchid where it receives steady daylight without strong direct sun—on a dining table near a window, a bright hallway console, or a kitchen spot away from cooking steam. The Crassula is well suited to brighter positions such as a windowsill or open shelving with good light. Together, they work well as a matched set on a sideboard, bedside table, or in a home office where you want greenery without taking up much space.
Care tips
For the orchid, avoid watering into the crown (the centre of the leaves) and remove any water that collects there. If you move the set between rooms, let the orchid acclimatise gradually to avoid bud drop. For the Crassula, use a free-draining cactus/succulent soil if repotting and rotate the pot occasionally to keep growth even. The orchid is delivered with 2 or 3 sturdy flower stems depending on availability. As a living product, the succulent may show small natural variation in shape and fullness.
