Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana, botanic - malaysia jungle orchid

Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana, botanic- species on the rare in Malaysia

Like most Phal orchids, Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana does not require a great deal of light (partial shade with some direct morning sun is best). It has to be kept moist and not wet. Drainage must be good and the medium should not completely dry out.

It needs good air movement and may be grown outside under lath or shaded by trees where here, the natural air movement is fine. For good drainage- use charcoal and bark fragments.  

Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana has oblong fleshy leaves and can be mounted on trunks or planted in pots. Stems are covered by imbricate foliar bases. The stem is to be cut only when withered.

It has a rather indeterminate blooming period, with purple stripe flowers which are long lasting up to eight weeks. Young plants easily form on the inflorescence (keiki /sons in hawaian) which can be removed once good rooting systems  are formed.
