Phalaenopsis Orchid, Rhipsalis Set – White
Plant description
This ready-planted arrangement combines three white Phalaenopsis (Amabilis) orchids with three Rhipsalis green plants, set into a clean white ceramic dish with a built-in water reservoir. The set is designed to make orchid care more forgiving: each orchid is connected to the reservoir with a cotton wick, so moisture is drawn up gradually rather than added in frequent, heavier waterings. Approximate height at delivery is 35 cm, with orchids in 9 cm pots and Rhipsalis in 6 cm pots, placed together as one compact “Jungle Bouquet” style bowl.
In the image, the bowl has a subtle faceted surface that catches light without looking glossy or busy. The white orchid flowers sit above thick, deep-green leaves, supported with slim stakes for a neat silhouette. The Rhipsalis adds a softer, trailing texture at the base, balancing the structured look of the orchids.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light is ideal. A spot near an east or west-facing window works well. Avoid strong midday sun, which can scorch orchid leaves and dry the arrangement too quickly.
- Watering routine: Keep the reservoir topped up so the wicks can do their job. As a rule, check the water level weekly and refill when low. Avoid letting the plants sit in standing water above the insert level; the system is intended to deliver moisture gradually, not to soak the roots.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (around 40–60%). Normal indoor humidity is usually sufficient; keep away from dry radiators and direct heat sources.
- Temperature range: Typical indoor temperatures 18–26°C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C, especially near winter windows.
Growth and characteristics
- Plant species: Phalaenopsis (Amabilis) orchids and Rhipsalis
- Mature height: Orchids commonly flower around 35–60 cm depending on stems; this set is approx. 35 cm at delivery
- Leaf or flower type: White Phalaenopsis blooms with broad green leaves; Rhipsalis with slender, cascading stems
- Growth speed: Slow to moderate; orchids typically re-bloom from the same plant with correct care
Placement in the home
Place the bowl where you want calm greenery without visual clutter: on a dining table, kitchen island, sideboard, or a low shelf with natural daylight. Because the reservoir reduces frequent handling, it also suits a hallway console or office where you may not want to water often—just keep it in bright, indirect light.
Care tips
For longer-lasting flowers, avoid placing the arrangement next to fruit bowls (ripening fruit releases ethylene) and keep it away from heaters. If an orchid has finished blooming, trim the flower spike above a node to encourage new growth, or cut it back once it turns dry. Wipe leaves occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise efficiently.
As this is a living product, flowering stage and shape may vary slightly from the photos on arrival.
