Description
Phalaenopsis bastianii is a phalaenopsis species native to the Philippines, this species blooms with large sprays of waxy flowers on several branching spikes. Flowers are flat,white to cream with red-brown textured markings. Do not remove the flower spikes when finished blooming, as they simply go dormant until the next year's flowering season. This species is closely related to Phal. mariae, although Phal. bastianii can be differentiated via its flatter flowers, seen blooming on upright spikes.
These orchids, being species or descendants of jungle-collected specimens, may exhibit minor leaf chlorosis, a common characteristic of wild orchids. However, in the many years that we have cultivated and propagated species, these symptoms have only ever been superficial and have not affected the plants' growth or flowering.
Kindly note, the orchid images presented here capture blooms nurtured under optimal conditions. Variations in appearance can and do occur as a response to environmental conditions, most notably factors such as ambient temperature, the type of fertilizer used, and light exposure. We sincerely appreciate your understanding that each orchid bloom is unique, reflecting its own individual beauty that may differ from the sample images shown.
