Phalaenopsis Orchid Set – Orange, Reed Basket
Plant description
This set features three orange Phalaenopsis orchids (often called moth orchids), arranged as a single, ready-to-place bouquet in a natural reed basket. Each orchid comes in a 12 cm nursery pot, placed into an inlay with a built-in water reservoir and wick system that helps keep moisture levels steadier between waterings. Approximate height on delivery is 45 cm, making it well-suited for tables, sideboards, and kitchen counters.
The orchids have warm orange blooms with a soft, lighter centre and strong, dark green leaves at the base. The stems are supported for a clean, upright silhouette, while the woven basket adds texture without feeling rustic. A small Tillandsia accent is included to finish the arrangement with a natural, botanical detail.
If you are looking for an orange orchid arrangement that is easier to live with than a standard decorative pot, the integrated reservoir and water wicks reduce how often you need to lift plants in and out for watering—useful in everyday homes where consistency matters.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. A spot near an east or west window is ideal; avoid strong midday sun on the leaves and flowers.
- Watering routine: Check weekly. Water the orchids by immersing each nursery pot in lukewarm water for 5–10 minutes, then let it drain thoroughly before placing it back. The wick and reservoir help distribute moisture, but the roots should never sit in stagnant water.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (around 40–60%). Normal indoor humidity is usually fine; avoid placing directly above radiators or next to a stove.
- Temperature range: Best at 18–21°C; generally comfortable within typical indoor temperatures. Keep away from cold drafts and hot, dry air.
Growth and characteristics
- Plant species: Phalaenopsis (moth orchid), Jewel collection
- Approx. size at delivery: About 45 cm tall; 3 orchids in 12 cm pots
- Flowers: Multiple orange blooms per stem; long flowering period with stable conditions
- Growth habit: Compact, upright leaves with flowering spikes; typically re-blooms from new spikes after a rest period
Placement in the home
Place the basket where you spend time and can easily check moisture levels: on a dining table, kitchen island, hallway console, or a sideboard in the living room. Choose a bright position with filtered light; a few steps back from a sunny window often gives the right balance. In bedrooms or offices, keep it near daylight but away from direct sun and dry heat sources.
Care tips
After flowering, cut the spike above a node only if it stays green; if it turns brown and dry, remove it at the base. Wipe dust from the leaves with a soft, slightly damp cloth so the plant can photosynthesise efficiently. If the basket or inlay gets wet during watering, let it dry out to keep the reed looking neat.
