Phalaenopsis fuscata

[theshatterings]

I have grown this plant for a few years now and seems to not skip a beat this year even after a selfing. It's not flashy, but is quite pleasing I think.

Sweet! What is its culture, please?

 

[mrhappyrotter]

It's really pretty.

I think it's gorgeous and if that beauty ever puts out a
keiki, I'd move heaven and earth to have one...also $$$$.

Dot, I had one many, many years ago from Dowery and I mounted
mine with sphag. on cork and treated like any other Phal. It grew
and bloomed beautifully for a very long time. Then we had a
power outage for eight days.

I grow this in sphag, at low light, which in my condition is about 500 fc. Watered it the same with others in sphag about once a week now and a little more in the summer. Haven't repotted it in two years..

Angela, I think Peter occasionally have a few for sale now and then. I have replated the protocorms so maybe I'll have some seedlings to trade in a million years if I don't mess up lol

Very nice. First time seeing this species in flower.

It was much worse than ouch Charles. I lost several of
my Dowery species with that outage and now Dwayne
is out of business. My huge fimbriata that I loved so much
died too.

Thanks for the info, Han & Angela.

Angela, when was your outage? Do you have a generator? How did your plants fare?

 

[paphioboy]

Very nice colour for this species..

Lovely little Phal, I like it very much.

Hi there, I was researching this species and came to your post? Wondering if ever you did get plants from your selfing?

Cute, thanks for sharing.
