Phal tetraspis is a strange one — it actually has somewhat random color patterns on its flowers, even on the same stem! In other words, you can have two flowers right next to each other on the same flower spike with different patterns. In practically all other orchids, every flower on the same flower spike looks like every other (although spots and lines might be a little different). Phal tetraspis takes this to another level, though. You can have one petal on a flower that has color, and the flower next to it might have color on different petals/sepals. One of the reasons orchid growing is so fascinating is because of fascinating, unexpected things like this. So every blooming, you’ll get something new!
How to grow:
1) Moderate shade (avoid prolonged direct sun). Keep humidity high for best growth.
2) Water once to twice a week; let dry between waterings.
3) Use NZ Sphagnum Moss or chunky bark for plenty of aeration at the roots.
4) Fertilize twice per month.
5) Avoid temps below 50 F; temps into the 90s F or even over 100 F are tolerable if kept shady and well-watered
