Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F). Requires higher light than most phals and likes a be a little less moist too. As always, good airflow and the use of distilled water are important. I grow mine in living sphagnum moss.
Comments: Parent plant: Medium-sized plant. Lightly fragrant! Fragrance is not typically noted in this species, so this is a pleasant surprise! Sequential bloomer with multiple spikes (and multiple branches on each spike). Blooms last about a week and a half.

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: |
910 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/18/2007 through 01/05/2010)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 0.2 - 75 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/12/2007 through 08/09/2010)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (08/09/2010)

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: Widespread from northeast India through Burma, Thailand,
Malaya, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. In Java, this orchid may still be found
but is not common in Central and West Java where it grows on the slopes of
mountains facing the south coast at 150-3300 ft. (50-1000 m). Plants
usually are epiphytic, but they may be found growing on rocks or tree
roots on steep hillsides. In Burma the plants grow at low elevations on
swampy islands at the mouth of the Irrawaddy River. Here it prefers the
dense, humid shade of mango trees protected from drying winds, but is
exposed to full sun during the dormant period. Dew is the primary source
of moisture during the dry season. Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi is found
through Thailand from the northern mountains through Peninsular Thailand
with collections reported from 650-2450 ft. (200-750 m). Collections have
been made in Malaya in the states of Kedah, Pahang, Perak, Selangor, and
Negeri Sembilan. In India it grows in the jungle with Dendrobium
aggregatum. In Indonesia it is found on trees on limestone hills, often
intermixed with Phalaenopsis maculata. It grows near Phalaenopsis violacea
in Malaya but prefers exposed locations with at least a short rest.
