Chia E Yenlin Phalaenopsis 'Variegata' Orchid - Variegated Leaves - 3.5" Pot

Phalaenopsis, the moth orchid, is perhaps the best orchid for growing in the home and is also a favorite with greenhouse growers. Well-grown plants can flower often, sometimes with a few flowers throughout the year, though the main season is late winter into spring. Phal. Chia E Yenlin 'Variegata' is a remarkable variegated-leaf Phalaenopsis and one of the easiest to grow. This clone is selected for its stable, beautiful, variegated foliage, as well as its long-lasting flowers from harlequin breeding background. This may undoubtedly be the best multi-floral miniature harlequin with beautifully variegated leaves that are attractive even when not in flower, in addition to being a vigorous grower. When grown under bright conditions, new leaves exhibit an unusual rainbow of coloration before turning to green with a yellow margin as it matures. These amazing plants can produce multiple branching inflorescences carrying dozens of red harlequin flowers on compact growths! Perfect for growers with limited space. Long-lasting flowers have a diamond-dusted texture and heavy substance. As with all harlequin Phals, cooler temperature enhances its color. Can be grown on a bright windowsill, under lights, or in an orchid cabinet. This is an excellent plant for beginners. Mature plants are showstoppers, putting on a magnificent display sure to capture the attention of everyone around. A welcome addition to any orchid collection. Award quality. Very highly recommended.
