Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Warm 90-70°F, cooler season Warm-Intermediate 87-64°F. Potted in an open, moist medium: 1/3 fir bark, 1/3 aliflor, 1/3 chopped sphagnum moss.
Plants, like this one, can begin flowering in 2.5 inch pots. But until the plant is well established, keep plant in the warmer temperature range, ~75-78°F, humid,~70% relative humidity, especially during the winter season.
Mature plant may be treated as warm, moist growing Phalaenopsis with otherwise unremarkable culture requirements. It will grow in shady conditions but light levels below the yellowing or burning of leaves produces better flowering. More red color results from temperatures in the warmer range.
Comments: Parent plant: Small plant. Unusual unstable color pattern
varying between solid red and solid white on differing flower segments and on the same set of flowers.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Sumatra in Indonesia.
Plants are found on mangrove and other trees in very muddy swamps. Plants
grow on trees at the extreme end of the creeks where the water is sweet.
They are found hanging from branches a few feet above the water where
humidity is always high. Grant (1895) reported that plants are never found
growing under any other conditions.
