Phalaenopsis stuartiana
SPECIES
From the warm humid forests of the island of Mindano in the Philippines at elevations up to 300 meters as a medium sized, hot growing epiphytic species with short stems enveloped by imbricating leaf bases and carrying a few, arcuate to pendant, elliptic-oblong, fleshy, obtuse, mottled green leaves that blooms in the winter and spring on a branching, to 3' [90 cm] long, arcuate to pendant inflorescence with ovate-cucullate bracts carrying up to 100, faintly fragrant flowers.
This is a small growing epiphyte with marbled leaves, that needs shade, humidity and even watering year round. Pot or mount these orchids while the root tips are actively growing, but take care not to damage them too much.
