Phalaenopsis Orchid – Yellow Red Bicolor
Plant description
Hummingbird Orchids ‘Spain’ is a flowering Phalaenopsis orchid delivered with a decorative Bee ceramic pot (pot size Ø9 cm). The plant arrives at approximately 35 cm tall, with 2–3 flowering spikes depending on current availability. The blooms show warm yellow and red tones with a fine speckled pattern, balanced by broad, deep-green leaves at the base—an easy way to add colour while keeping the overall look calm and considered.
This is a live indoor orchid selected for compact styling: it fits neatly on a windowsill, shelf, or sideboard without taking over the space. Each spike is supported for stability, so the flowers hold their shape during the flowering period and in everyday use.
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: Water about once a week by immersing the inner growing pot in room-temperature water for 10–15 minutes, then let it drain fully before placing it back in the decorative pot. Allow the roots to breathe—never leave the plant standing in water.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (typical indoor levels). If your air is very dry, occasional misting around the plant (not directly into open flowers) or placing it near other plants can help.
- Temperature range: Best at 18–21°C, and generally comfortable between 18–26°C. Keep away from radiators, stoves, and cold draughts.
Growth and characteristics
- Plant species: Phalaenopsis (moth orchid)

Placement in the home
Place the orchid where you naturally spend time—on a kitchen windowsill with filtered light, a hallway console away from cold air, or a living room shelf near a bright window. The warm flower colour works well with light woods, stone surfaces, and muted textiles, while the compact ceramic pot keeps the styling contained and tidy.
Care tips
For the cleanest, healthiest plant, always drain thoroughly after soaking—this is the most important step for Phalaenopsis care. Remove faded flowers as they finish; if a spike turns brown, trim it near the base. Wipe leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to keep them dust-free and able to photosynthesise efficiently.
Please note: as this is a living product, the number of spikes (2–3) and the exact distribution of open blooms and buds can vary slightly from plant to plant.
