phalaenopsis sun passat

국표에는 없다.

 

One of those is Phalaenopsis Sun Passat. You will undoubtedly lose your heart to the seemingly simple beauty of this Phalaenopsis hybrid. The plant is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for design and decoration thanks for its yellow to white colours with delicate orange stripes in the heart of the flower.

 

And surprisingly this orchid is very fragrant, which is a unusual quality for large phalaenopsis hybrids, furthermore this orchid grows very large very quickly and can put out many, many spikes at the same time and these can carry up to 12 or more large flowers that can reach up to 9 cm across.

Like most complex hybrids it’s easy to care for and it can accommodate different media like bark, spaghnum or even growing in semi hydroponics – which I do personally and it’s doing very well.

Because the plant will grow very large you need to be prepared to re-pot it even every 15 to 18 months and accommodate a larger container.

 

Although this phalaenopsis seems rather hardy don’t expose it to temperatures below 16C, and water well every week, the same comes to fertilizer. DON’T forget to fertilize or the plant will sulk.

When it comes to sun exposure it will take direct spring and autumn sun however, I wouldn’t let it sit in direct sunlight in summer to avoid burning the foliage.
