A delightful miniature, fragrant Phalaenopsis species native to northeastern India and extending through mainland Southeast Asia to Vietnam. It produces small, sequentially blooming flowers—creamy white with a contrasting lip marked with chestnut‑brown striping.
This species grows best in intermediate conditions with high humidity and brighter light than most Phalaenopsis. It benefits from a moderate winter rest, with reduced watering once leaf and root growth has stopped. During this period the plant may shed its leaves, which is normal for the species. Watering should resume when new growth appears.
Phalaenopsis lobbii prefers to be grown mounted. If potted, use a very airy, fast‑draining mix and take care not to overwater, particularly during winter.

The photo of the flower is for reference only. The other photo is an example of the size of the plant for sale (mounted on a tree fern slab).
Note also that because the seedling is from a cross, all the plants will have slightly different flowers.
