Phalaenopsis Orchid – Pink, Glossy Green

Plant description

The Kolibri Orchids Pink Orchid Portugal is a live Phalaenopsis (moth orchid) delivered in a 9 cm Como pot with an integrated water reservoir and wick-based Easy Watering System. The orchid has soft pink blooms on arching flower spikes and glossy green leaves, offering long-lasting colour with a simple, controlled watering routine. Approximate height at delivery is 35 cm, including the pot.

The Como pot has a calm, Scandinavian look with a gently rounded silhouette and subtle horizontal structure. The reservoir is concealed inside the pot, so the exterior remains clean and minimal while the plant draws up water as needed. This reduces the common problem with orchids—overwatering—by separating the water supply from the roots and letting moisture move gradually through the wick.

Made from recycled plastic, the pot is designed for repeated use. It is a practical choice if you want a flowering indoor plant that looks considered on a sideboard or windowsill, but needs less day-to-day attention than a standard inner pot and saucer setup.

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: With the Easy Watering System, top up the reservoir when it is low rather than watering from above. Let the system do the work—orchids prefer steady, moderate moisture, not constantly wet roots.
• Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity (around 40–60%) suits Phalaenopsis well. In very dry rooms, occasional gentle misting around the plant (not directly into the flower) can help.
• Temperature range: Typical indoor temperatures of 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and heat sources such as radiators.

Growth and characteristics

• Plant species: Phalaenopsis (Portugal variety)
• Approximate size at delivery: 35 cm tall, in a 9 cm pot
• Flowers: Soft pink blooms on multiple spikes, with unopened buds that continue to open over time
• Growth habit: Compact, upright leaves with arching stems supported by slim stakes

Placement in the home

Place the orchid where you spend time and can enjoy the blooms up close: on a dining table, a hallway console, a bedside cabinet, or a kitchen shelf with good daylight. If you choose a windowsill, aim for filtered light rather than harsh sun. The integrated reservoir is particularly useful in offices, guest rooms, and other spaces where plants are easy to forget.

Care tips

Keep water out of the crown (the centre of the leaves) to avoid rot. Remove spent flowers as they fade, and once the flowering stem finishes, you can trim it back according to your preferred re-blooming approach. Wipe the leaves with a soft, slightly damp cloth when dusty so the plant can photosynthesise efficiently. The Como pot can be rinsed and reused between flowering cycles.
