Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F). Warm temperatures and regular moisture at the roots can deter shedding of the leaves. Grow mounted or potted in long fiber sphagnum moss and low light.
Comments: Parent plant: A small epiphytic phalaenopsis which can be deciduous. Plants typically carry 3 to 5 leaves and produce a branched inflorescence with six to ten 1.5 inch flowers.

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
| Yield Estimate: |
3 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/16/2005 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 5 - 25 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 09/16/2005 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 5 - 25 mm (09/16/2005)

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: Myanmar (Burma) and adjacent areas in western Thailand.
Plants were originally found near Moulmein, Myanmar (Burma) in the hills
of the Tenasserim region and in the deltas of the Gyne, Salween, and
Ataran Rivers, which are seasonally flooded. Recent collections in
Thailand were made at 2600 ft. (800 m). Phalaenopsis lowii usually grows
on bare limestone rocks where it receives full morning sun but is shaded
in the afternoon. It also grows on the branches of small bushes which have
rooted in rock crevices. Tuberous begonias also grow in this moist warm
area.
