Delivered in a \u003cstrong\u003eØ9 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e pot, it comes styled in the \u003cstrong\u003eDiabolo decorative pot\u003c\/strong\u003e with a ribbed surface that gives the arrangement a clean, architectural look. At delivery, the plant typically stands at around \u003cstrong\u003e35–45 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e tall and arrives with \u003cstrong\u003e2–3 flower spikes\u003c\/strong\u003e (depending on natural availability).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhalaenopsis (also known as the moth orchid) is valued for long-lasting blooms and glossy, dark green leaves that stay neat year-round. The flowers sit on gently arched stems supported by slim stakes, keeping the silhouette balanced and easy to place on a windowsill, sideboard, or desk without taking up much space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diabolo pot is designed to frame the plant rather than compete with it. Its vertical ribbing adds subtle texture, while the light, travertine-inspired look keeps the overall expression minimal—well suited to Scandinavian interiors where materials and form are kept simple.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light.
