Susanne, very pretty! I have an unlabelled plant that I was given that looks just like yours - I was told it was a "dwarf phaius", whatever the heck that means. On mine, the old foliage looks like crap. Light green and speckled - I thought maybe I had mites but I think they're gone, if they were ever there.
Any tips? I can grow really nice foliage on my regular phaius, it's just this one that is problematic.

The "dwarf" part just means it isn't as large as a regular Phaius but these plants do get rather large.
Mine is in a spot where it gets some morning sun coming through 2 layers of glass so it's not strong. The leaves are a medium green.
Unfortunately, no fragrance  |
