Phalaenopsis corningiana 'Fernbrook' AM/AOS x 'Dowery'

[theshatterings]

This is my favorite phal! Not getting the red as saturated on these, probably because these are grown indoors under lights with lower humidity. They're super fragrant (very sweet and grape-y) between 9-11 a.m., but don't really have much scent after noon.

Wow! That is a beautiful plant and flower! What is culture and how much light do you give it?

Thanks! This is in 100% sphagnum, under ~1,000 fc for 13 hours at 72-80F with the RH hovering around 48%.

Lovely flower.

You said you are growing it in sphagnum with lower humidity and lower light. Do you keep the sphagnum wet?

 

[cnycharles]

Thanks all!

This came from Peter at BLO.

I don't keep it sopping wet, just damp enough that it dries out in three or four days.
