Description HistoryThe first European to discover and describe the Phalaenopsis of aphrodite was the Jesuit, George Joseph Kamel (1661-1706). Linnaeus neglected his work and this beautiful view did not appear on the first list of orchids.
The history of this species in the botanical gardens of Europe began with the fact that in 1837 several plants were sent by ship from Manila to England. Surviving a sea voyage was destined for only one plant from the entire party, which turned out to be the owner of the orchid nursery in Tuting, Mr. Rollison. In the same year, this phalaenopsis bloomed and was mistakenly classified as the then-known species Phalaenopsis amabilis . Only after a long confusion did this plant gain the status of a new species.
In CultureThe temperature group is warm. For normal flowering, a temperature difference of day / night of 5-8 ° C is desirable.
Lighting requirements: 1000–1200 FC , 10760–12912 lx [4] . It does not tolerate direct sunlight.
