Phal. Surf Song 'Pumpkin' - Spike Initiated + Budded Option
This item is currently sold out — but we can let you know when it’s back!
NOTE:
We have notes below about the spike-initiated stage, but we also have them in 6" black pots, ready to flower as well!
This Phalaenopsis produces striking deep orange to coral blooms accented by a bold magenta lip. The flowers are exceptionally long-lasting, with spikes that can remain in bloom for 3 to 5 months. Their presentation is outstanding, with perfect spacing and branching from the sides of the stems. As the flowers mature, they shift to a soft pink—a rare and unique color-changing process not commonly seen in Phalaenopsis!
This is part of our spike-initiated series, which is a way to save costs on the plant price and the shipping. These come in the Taiwan soft production pots with a single drain hole on the bottom, which are typically dropped into a sturdy ceramic container for display. You have the choice to up-pot it by adding more moss or bark around the root system (we recommend about a 5.5 to 6-inch pot), or leave it as-is and drop it into an appropriate container.
Spike initiated photo as of 12/3, of which plants are estimated to have developed spikes with buds by late February to March.
*Note that Taiwan production Phals are grown in tight spaces, with foliage sometimes flopping over. We re-train them with clear tape. If you receive a plant with clear tape, you may remove it after 2 weeks, and the foliage will then stay in place.
