Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). This is a large-growing terrestrial orchid that enjoys intermediate conditions but will tolerate a very wide range of temperatures. The soil must be amended to be free flowing. While Phaius enjoys a good deal of moisture during growth it doesn't like bog conditions. Sitting in a saucer of water is fine. The size of this species can be restrained by growing in a smaller pot (6 inch standard size) and dividing regularly. Or it can fill a 5-10 gal tub if desired with 6-7 foot spikes and 3 foot foliage in late winter to early spring.
Comments: This spontaneous pollination is most likely a selfing.

| 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: |
94 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/20/2010 through 05/12/2010)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 45 - 120 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/14/2010 through 09/07/2010)
From one most recently surveyed flask 70 - 120 mm (09/07/2010)
