Why You'll Love It

This exceptional hybrid combines the best characteristics of both parents. From Phalaenopsis schilleriana, it inherits beautifully mottled foliage and a delightful fragrance, while King No. 3 contributes outstanding flower size, vibrant colour and excellent form.

As the plant matures, it develops elegant branching spikes covered with large, vivid pink flowers that create an impressive cascading display. Even when not flowering, the striking tiger-patterned foliage makes this orchid an eye-catching addition to any collection.

This is a bloom-size orchid, meaning it has reached flowering maturity and is ready to produce its first blooms once established.

Care Tips

Grow in bright, filtered light with warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. Water thoroughly once the roots become silver, allowing excess water to drain completely. Feed every two to three weeks with a balanced orchid fertiliser during active growth. Avoid cutting healthy green flower spikes, as Phalaenopsis orchids can often rebloom from existing spikes.

Packaging & Delivery

Your orchid will be carefully packed using specialist orchid packaging to ensure it arrives safely. Heat packs are included during colder months whenever required to protect your plant during transit.
