Phalaenopsis Orchid Lausanne – White
Plant description
The Kolibri Orchids Phalaenopsis ‘Lausanne’ is a flowering indoor orchid with crisp white blooms, delivered fresh from the grower in a Painted Stripe decorative pot in turquoise. This compact arrangement has a pot size of Ø9 cm and an approximate height of 35 cm, making it well-suited to smaller surfaces such as a sideboard, kitchen shelf, or bedside table. The orchid is selected for its multiflora character: many open flowers alongside a generous number of buds for a longer display.
In the product image, the plant shows several upright flower spikes supported with clips, with thick, dark green leaves at the base. The ceramic pot has a clean cylindrical shape with a glossy finish and hand-painted vertical stripes that add colour without overwhelming calm interiors.
Each orchid is a living product. The plant is supplied with 2 or 3 sturdy flower spikes depending on current availability, and there may be natural variation in bud count and flowering stage—part of what makes each orchid slightly different while staying true to the same look and size range.
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: Water when the bark feels nearly dry and the roots look silvery (often every 7–10 days). Use a small amount of water, allow excess to drain fully, and avoid water sitting in the decorative pot.
- Humidity preferences: Moderate humidity. Normal indoor levels are fine; slightly higher humidity helps buds develop evenly, especially in winter with heating.
- Temperature range: 18–26°C. Keep away from cold draughts and radiators for steadier flowering.

Placement in the home
Choose a bright spot where the orchid gets daylight without harsh sun—on a hallway console near a window, a coffee table away from direct rays, or a kitchen shelf with good ambient light. Its compact Ø9 cm footprint works well in apartments and smaller rooms, while the turquoise striped pot adds a controlled accent among neutral woods, stone, and textiles.
Care tips
For a tidy, long-lasting display, rotate the pot weekly so the spikes grow evenly toward the light. Water the inner nursery pot separately if possible, then return it once fully drained to protect roots from standing water. Remove faded flowers as they finish; if a spike stays green, it can be trimmed just above a node to encourage a secondary bloom, or cut back fully once it browns.
