Phalaenopsis Orchid Set – White, Ceramic
This set combines three white Phalaenopsis orchids (Kolibri Orchids “Jewel” collection) with a glazed ceramic bowl and an integrated water reservoir. Each orchid comes in a 12 cm grow pot and is placed neatly inside the bowl with an inlay and water wicks, so moisture is delivered gradually. The result is a calm, structured mono bouquet that is easier to maintain than individual orchid pots.
In the image, the orchids have slender, upright flower stems with multiple buds and open blooms, and firm, deep-green leaves at the base. The bowl is low and wide with a clean, rounded silhouette and small feet—designed to sit securely on a dining table, sideboard, or kitchen island without looking heavy.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning or late afternoon sun is fine; avoid strong midday sun on the flowers and leaves.
- Watering routine: Keep the reservoir topped up as needed so the wicks can draw water gradually. As a guideline, check the reservoir weekly; water demand increases in brighter rooms and decreases in winter. Avoid letting the orchids sit with roots submerged—wick watering should provide moisture, not soaking.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity suits Phalaenopsis well. In very dry rooms, occasional misting around (not on) the flowers or placing the bowl away from radiators can help.
- Temperature range: Typical indoor temperatures 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and hot air vents for longer-lasting blooms.
Growth and characteristics
- Plant species: Phalaenopsis (moth orchid)
- Approximate size at delivery: Around 35 cm in height (as stated)
- Flower type: White blooms with fresh green buds; multiple flower spikes for a fuller look
- Growth habit: Compact foliage with tall flowering stems; typically blooms for several weeks in stable conditions
Placement in the home
Place the arrangement where you would normally style a low planter: on a dining table as a centred piece, on a hallway console for a clean welcome, or on a living room sideboard where it gets bright, filtered daylight. Because the bowl is contained and stable, it also works well in open-plan kitchens—just keep it a little distance from direct heat and steam.
Care tips
For best results, keep the leaves clean by wiping gently with a soft, damp cloth. Remove spent flowers as they fade; if a spike stays green after flowering, you can trim it just above a node to encourage a secondary bloom, or cut it back to the base when it browns. The integrated reservoir helps reduce the most common orchid problem—irregular watering—by offering a steady supply through the wicks.
