PHALAENOPSIS Species
Phalaenopsis are native to South East Asia where they grow on trees (epiphytes). They are fast maturing, relatively easy to grow, suited to indoor culture and, on the whole are compact, attractive plants in leaf and in flower. These are in-vitro, seed raised plants so some variation between plants will occur. These plants are ready for potting into individual pots and are best potted in small plastic pots containing moss.
