Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana 'Dark Red Taiwan'

Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana is a botanical species native to Manila, Philippines, notable for the distinctive coloration of its waxy flowers, the tendency to produce keikis and to rebloom from persistent stems, as well as for its delicate, sweet, very intense fragrance.
This species shows high tolerance to temperature, as long as an adequate humidity level and proper ventilation are ensured. The optimal humidity for growing Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana is 80% and can be reduced to 60-70% during winter, when watering should be done every 3–4 weeks (from mid-October to the end of February), supplemented by leaf misting. However, complete drying of the substrate should not be allowed. During this period, when the plant's growth will stop, fertilization is not recommended. In the warm season, watering is recommended approximately every 7 days, keeping the substrate fairly moist (not wet). Fertilize every 1-2 weeks with a dose of 25-50% of the manufacturer's recommended concentration. The species can be successfully grown in pots with a growing medium made of pine bark sized 12–16 mm, ensuring repotting only immediately after the flowering period. 

Fragrant flowers: YES

Note: This variety frequently shows some coloration on the leaves. This aspect is considered normal and does not affect the plant's viability.
