Phal. japonica x Holc. wangii 3in

Primary hybrid, photos are of the parents. Has long skinny leaves of Holcoglossum. Usually white with some pink and yellow as pictured. High humidity required, cannot exceed 80F without damage. Phal japonica has been reported to have a lifespan of 5-6 years. We don't have enough experience with this species to confirm or reject this, so keep in mind before purchasing.

CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Coarse/fine bark with some sphagnum moss added to slow drying, mounted with moss. Repot in Spring once every other year as the bark begins to break down. Don't move up in pot size until fully root bound. Great for terrariums.

Light: Medium light. Bright North or East facing is preferred. Shield from direct light to protect the leaves from burning.

Water: Water when media is dry. Prefers wet/dry cycle similar to most Phals. Decrease in winter, this variety likes to have a rest period. 

Temp: Cool (40F min night, 80F max day). A sustained cool period is necessary for re-blooming like many hybrid "grocery store" Phals. They often spike in winter and bloom in Spring. 

Humidity: 70-85% with good air flow.

Fertilizing: 1/4-1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Flush the pot with water once monthly to remove mineral build up. Decrease to 1/4 or 1/8 strength once monthly in Winter. Light feeders, less is more.
