Phalaenopsis Orchid – White, Ceramic, Black
Plant description
The Lausanne Phalaenopsis orchid is a flowering indoor plant with crisp white blooms and a calm, architectural form. It is delivered in a matte black Bubble pot made from ceramic, with a softly rounded, ribbed profile that sits neatly on a shelf, windowsill, or table. With a pot size of Ø9 cm and an approximate height of 35 cm at delivery, this is an easy-to-place orchid for smaller surfaces and clean, Scandinavian interiors.
From the image, the plant has several upright flower spikes with fresh buds and open flowers, plus a compact rosette of deep green leaves. Phalaenopsis orchids are known for long-lasting flowers and a tidy growth habit, making them a practical choice if you want a flowering houseplant that stays composed rather than sprawling.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. A spot near an east- or west-facing window is ideal. Avoid strong midday sun on the leaves and flowers.
- Watering routine: About once a week, immerse the inner grow pot in lukewarm water for 10–15 minutes. Let it drain thoroughly before placing it back into the decorative ceramic pot. Water less in winter.
- Humidity preferences: Normal indoor humidity is usually sufficient. If the air is very dry, keep it away from radiators and consider occasional light misting around the plant (not directly into the flowers).
- Temperature range: Best kept at 18–21°C. Avoid cold drafts and heat sources such as stoves or heating vents.

Placement in the home
Place this orchid where you’ll enjoy it up close: on a kitchen windowsill with filtered light, a hallway console, a bedside table, or a work desk. The matte black ceramic Bubble pot adds visual weight and keeps the look grounded, while the white flowers stay clear and quiet against neutral walls and natural wood tones.
Care tips
Orchids prefer to dry slightly between waterings, so always let excess water drain fully—standing water inside a decorative pot can damage the roots. When flowering is finished, you can cut the spike above a node to encourage a possible second bloom, or cut it lower to help the plant rest. Wipe leaves gently with a soft cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise well.
Shipping
This plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport. Because this is a living product, small natural variations in the number of flowers and the stage of bloom may occur.
