Phalaenopsis Orchid 4-Pack – Orange
Plant description
This set includes four orange Phalaenopsis orchids (Kolibri Orchids, variety Bolzano) delivered in bloom. Each orchid comes in a Ø9 cm pot and is approximately 35 cm tall at delivery. The plants have 2–3 strong flower spikes each (depending on current availability), with fresh buds that typically open gradually for a longer flowering period.
Phalaenopsis (moth orchid) is valued for its clean growth habit and long-lasting flowers. The Bolzano’s warm orange tone sits well with calm, Nordic interiors—especially alongside sand, stone, and terracotta surfaces. Use the four plants together for a balanced table arrangement, or place them separately to repeat colour through the home.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. A spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal. Avoid strong midday sun, which can mark the leaves and shorten flowering.
- Watering routine: Water once a week by submerging the nursery pot in lukewarm water for 5–10 minutes, then let it drain thoroughly before placing it back into the decorative pot or sleeve. If the potting mix still feels slightly moist, wait a few days.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate household humidity suits Phalaenopsis well. In very dry homes, place the pot on a tray with pebbles and water (without the pot sitting in water), or mist lightly around the plant (not directly into open flowers).
- Temperature range: Best at 18–21°C. Keep away from radiators, fireplaces, or cold draughts near open windows.

Placement in the home
For reliable flowering, place these orchids where you have good daylight without harsh sun. A dining table, sideboard, kitchen counter, or bedroom dresser works well—especially where the temperature is stable. In groups of four, they suit longer surfaces such as a dining table or hallway console; spaced individually, they add continuity from room to room.
Care tips
Orchids are sensitive to standing water. Always let excess water drain away to protect the roots. If you use a decorative pot, ensure the nursery pot does not sit in water at the bottom. Remove faded flowers as they finish, and keep the leaves clean by wiping gently with a soft, damp cloth. Natural variation is part of living plants: the number of spikes, buds, and open flowers may differ slightly per plant.
