Phalaenopsis parishii outcross #4978 (approximately 15 seedlings per flask).

The Species: This is found from the eastern Himalaya Mountains through Thailand and Vietnam at elevations below 1650. The flowers, approximately 3/4” tall, will bloom with up to 5 flowers per inflorescence.

Culture: I find this species does better for me in warm conditions (65F minimum nights) than it does in intermediate conditions (56F minimum nights). I water with dilute fertilizer almost daily during the growing season.The rainfall is heavy in the habitat from May through September. I decrease watering so that I am misting occassionally and water about once per week. I have only grown it mounted, but know that some do grow it in small pots.

Pollen parent: Phalaenopsis parishii 7462
