A small to medium-sized species from the lowland forests of Luzon, Samar, and Leyte in the Philippines, Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana produces arching spikes of 3–5 waxy, star-shaped flowers, each 5–6 cm across and sweetly fragrant. This is a cross between the “dark’ form which has more intense and darker colours.
It grows best in warm conditions (min 18° C, max 30° C), medium humidity, light, to medium shade and good air movement. Plants should be kept moist all year, watering to keep the roots damp but not soggy. Phal. lueddemanniana has a habit of making keikis so leave green viable inflorescence alone so they will bloom again or grow kieikis.

Note also that because the seedling is from a cross, all the plants will have slightly different flowers.
