Phalaenopsis Brother Lawrence 'B#9' AM/AOS 4N
This is a 3 year old meristem clone of a select plant of Phal. Brother Lawrence. The flowers are bright yellow with concentric brown markings and a white center. This is a first bloom from seedling from the cross (Phal Taipai Gold X Phal. Deventeriana). Warm growing. This hybrid takes low light so I grow it on the east facing window of the bathroom. My big mistake was when I first put it on the south facing window and burned a couple of leaves(which I cut) and the buds almost blasted had I not transferred it in the nick of time(only two blooms with one bud coming out). This is floriferous so I hope to get it right the next season of blooms…the flowers are fragrant specifically noticeable at noon with a light waft of pine needles and fresh cut grass…I give it the Phalaenopsis culture on SH method (see pictures) the big healthy roots are already well established on the hydroton almost touching the watermark, I don’t give it cold water; only room temps or when I flush it twice a month …I use tepid water from the sink. When I say tepid I mean the skin of my elbow can tolerate the temperature.
