Plant Set – Phalaenopsis Orchid, Succulent, Pink
Plant description
Kolibri Company’s Valentine ‘Pastel Pink’ plant set pairs a soft pink Phalaenopsis orchid with a compact succulent, both delivered in matching ceramic decorative pots. The orchid is approximately 35 cm tall at delivery and typically arrives with 2–3 sturdy flower spikes (the number of branches and open blooms can vary slightly, as this is a living product). Together, the plants bring a calm, considered touch of colour and greenery to shelves, bedside tables, and small surfaces where fresh plants are appreciated but space is limited.
The orchid has classic Phalaenopsis form: arching spikes with rounded petals in a pale pastel pink, and broad, glossy green leaves at the base. The succulent adds contrast with its tidy rosette shape and matte, fleshy leaves—an easy companion plant that stays neat with minimal attention. Both pots are smooth ceramic in a light pink tone, designed to sit comfortably in Scandinavian interiors without visual noise.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Phalaenopsis prefers bright, indirect light (east or north-facing window is ideal). The succulent thrives in bright light and can take a few hours of gentle sun; avoid harsh midday sun through glass for both plants.
- Watering routine: Orchid: water sparingly when the potting medium feels almost dry—typically every 7–10 days depending on season. Water the growing medium, then let excess drain; avoid leaving water in the decorative pot. Succulent: water only when the soil has dried out completely; in many homes this is every 2–4 weeks.
- Humidity preferences: Orchid: moderate humidity (around 40–60%) is comfortable; avoid placing directly above radiators. Succulent: normal indoor humidity is sufficient.
- Temperature range: Keep both plants in typical indoor temperatures, ideally 18–26°C. Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

Placement in the home
Place the set where you naturally spend time: a living room sideboard, a hallway console, or a bedside table. For best results, keep the orchid in bright, indirect light and move the succulent a little closer to the window if needed. This duo also works well on a dining table or kitchen shelf where there is steady daylight but not strong, direct sun.
Care tips
For the orchid, avoid getting water in the crown (the centre where new leaves form). If the plant is in a nursery pot inside the ceramic pot, lift it out to water and allow it to drain fully before returning it. Remove spent blooms and cut the flower spike after flowering if it turns brown. For the succulent, use a “soak and dry” approach and never leave the roots standing in water—this is the most common cause of failure.
