Why You'll Love It
Phalaenopsis Schilleriana ZW155 is an outstanding selected form of the famous Phalaenopsis schilleriana. It is admired for its striking mottled "tiger" foliage and masses of delicately scented pink flowers that appear on gracefully arching spikes.
Unlike many orchids, this species is just as desirable for its foliage as its flowers. The beautifully marbled leaves remain attractive all year round, making it a true collector's plant. As the orchid matures, it can produce spectacular branching flower spikes with dozens of fragrant blooms, creating an unforgettable display.
This is a bloom-size orchid, meaning it has reached flowering maturity and is ready to bloom once established in the right growing conditions.
Care Tips
Provide bright, filtered light and warm temperatures throughout the year. Maintain moderate to high humidity (60–80%) with gentle air circulation. Water thoroughly once the roots become silver, allowing the potting mix to drain well before watering again. Feed regularly with a balanced orchid fertiliser during active growth. Healthy green flower spikes should not be removed, as mature plants may 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.
