We are excited to introduce this unique, new strain of Phal. tetraspis Mr. Yang Yang. The clone ‘Prince’ is a rare color form having both brown colored spots and a blue lip. The brown gene is often coincides with the blue lip.
Phal. tetraspis is native to the Andaman Islands, the Nicobar Islands, and northwestern Sumatra. Its natural habitat is the hot and wet jungles at elevations near sea level. Phal. tetraspis is a free bloomer, producing good size fragrant flowers, up to 8 flowers on each tall, branching, upright inflorescence held well above the foliage. It is a compact plant and vigorous grower and can begin blooming on young small plants. It has a multiple spike habit—flowers will bloom from old spikes for several years while new spikes are forming, so it will flower for a very long period. Do not cut the spike unless it is dry and yellow.
It is a sequential bloomer, flowering alternately on either side of the inflorescence.
It can be grown either mounted or in a pot. Tall spikes may need to be staked if potted. Water and fertilize regularly. During the hot summer months mounted plants may need daily watering. Do not let it get too dry. Phal. tetraspis thrives in high humidity, warm temperatures, and good air circulation. Can be grown on a bright windowsill or underlights. A must for Phal species collectors and lovers of fragrant orchids. Award quality. Highly desirable for a modern Phal breeding program. Highly recommended.
