Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Should be mounted on cork and grown under intermediate conditions. Can tolerate drying out for brief periods provided that there is high humidity present. Seems to prefer brighter light and cooler temperatures than most Phalaenopsis species.
 
Comments: This species as a whole has been reported as being fairly difficult to grow.
These siblings are growing on the same mount.

Pod parent plant: Flowers are slightly larger than that if its sibling. Fragrant miniature.

Pollen parent plant: This particular plant is a vigorous grower that occasionally doubles by forming keikis off of the primary growth. Never goes completely deciduous. Fragrant miniature.
