Phalaenopsis violacea var. magenta

Phalaenopsis violacea var. magenta

This species is one of our best sellers.  This grex and others we have offered represent line breeding using selfings and sibling crosses to achieve new generations of seedlings that will have high percentages of rich, magenta flowers.  We have seen some indigos from this generation as well. Fragrant with a spicy, sweet scent. Plants are beautiful with lush foliage. These should be grown in intermediate to warm conditions year round and low light (1200-1500 foot candles) for best results.

Plants are compact growing with lush foliage and prefer warm temperatures along with medium light levels. Fragrance is a blend of sweet and spicy. Blooms emerge sequentially on evergreen stems in the late summer and early fall. We have found that they grow best in media that retains moisture evenly, such as a sphagnum moss based mix. 

Plants are offered in two sizes while supplies last. Plants were repotted earlier this summer and should not be disturbed anytime soon.
