About This

• Spathoglottis x parsonsii is a natural hybrid first noticed in the Philippines for the blending of the flower characteristics of S. plicata and S. vanovergerghii, which are both common in this area. Since that time, cultivars have been selected in a variety of color combinations including salmon, pink, deep purple, and yellow.
• This one is a soft pastel yellow, barely blushed with lavender, with a pretty dark pink lip. It blooms periodically throughout the warm season, with peak periods in late spring to early summer and in early to mid-fall.
• Care: This variety thrives in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It will grow in full sun, but is significantly more full and lush in light to moderate shade. Water regularly during the growing season, but let the soil dry out slightly between waterings. Use a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Divide clumps and transplant as necessary.
• Indoor Growing: Ground Orchids can be grown indoors, but may require modifications to increase light, humidity, temperature, and create a temperature differential to provide modest chilling during the winter resting phase, which is essential for creating flowers in the spring.
• Climate: Spathoglottis x parsonsii is suited for growing outdoors in semi-tropical to tropical climates. The recommended Zone Range is 8B, 9, 10, 11, 12. Protection from frost and freezing is required in all zones for the optimum appearance, earliest flowering, and best overall plant health.
