Plant Set – Phalaenopsis, Calathea, Orange
Plant description
The Kolibri Company Planten Set Coral Oranje is a compact indoor plant set with two contrasting shapes: a Phalaenopsis orchid ‘Jamaica’ (pot size Ø9 cm) and a Calathea (pot size Ø6 cm). Both plants are delivered in matching ceramic decorative pots with a warm coral/orange motif. The orchid brings structured flower stems and long-lasting blooms, while the Calathea adds patterned foliage and a softer, greener base—an easy pairing for windowsills, side tables, and small shelves.
From the product image, the orchid has multiple upright stems with buds and open flowers in a coral-orange tone with a pink centre, supported by slim stakes. The Calathea is shown as a small, low plant with oval leaves and clear striping. Together, the set reads calm and tidy, with a deliberate balance between flowering height and leafy volume.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Place both plants in bright, indirect light. The orchid tolerates a little gentle morning or late-afternoon sun, but avoid strong midday sun. Calathea prefers filtered light and can struggle in harsh direct sun.
- Watering routine: Phalaenopsis: water about once a week by placing the inner pot in water for 10 minutes, then let it drain well. Calathea: keep the soil lightly moist; water when the top layer starts to feel dry. Do not let it dry out completely.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate to higher humidity suits both plants. Calathea benefits from regular misting or placing it near other plants; avoid dry air from radiators.
- Temperature range: Typical indoor temperatures of 18–26°C. Keep away from draughts and sudden temperature changes.

Placement in the home
This set is designed for smaller surfaces where you want greenery and colour without taking up space. Place it on a bright living-room sideboard, a hallway console with daylight, or a kitchen shelf away from hot cooking vapour. For best results, keep the orchid slightly closer to the light source and the Calathea a little further back, where the light is softer.
Care tips
Drainage matters: after watering the orchid by soaking, always let excess water run off—standing water can damage roots. For the Calathea, use lukewarm water and aim for evenly moist soil rather than heavy watering. Feed both plants with a suitable houseplant fertiliser once a month during the growing season. The orchid is supplied with 2–3 sturdy flower stems depending on availability; as with all live plants, the number of blooms and buds can vary slightly.
