I added some more info in the previous post I made on this thread. You might want to check it out.

I don't know if your looking for species or hybrids but here's some of my favorite hybrids from Hausermann's. All are easy to grow.

Dtps. Chia-Shing Royal- white, peppered with pink/purple, purple lip

Dtps. Fusheng Glad Lip- white with pink lip and a little pink around the lip


Dtps. I-Hsin Sesame- yellowish background, peppered with reddish pink

Dtps. I-Hsin Waltz- White lip, pink background peppered with darker pink spots

The ones I listed above are all around $16.99. Be sure to check out Hausermann's and the links posted by me and others above and see what appeals to you. Let us know what you get if you decide to buy something.

Just my thoughts on Phal. stuartiana... I have no personal experience with this species but I know of other members on another forum that grow this species and they say it isn't exactly hard to grow but it can be quite picky and prone to rot, even mounted. Again, just saying what I've heard, I have no experience with Phal. stuartiana.

Maybe they were growing them too wet? Idk, I'd have to follow their threads to find out what the problem really is.

Mottled leaf Phals don't usually grow as wet as the green leafed Phals do. They tolerate moderate neglect much better than the green leafed Phals.

like the petal is a solid color with spots of another color?

are you looking for a Harlequin Phal.?

You want spottet petals, not spotted leaves?

If you can provide some pics and info about your growing conditions, as well as information on how you're growing the seedlings, you will get a far better response.

Right now, there's not much information provided about how you're growing the plants for people to give advise.

On top of providing pics, a good start would be to provide the following bits of information:

potting media
pot size
pot type
temperature (day/night/seasonal)
relative humidity
how often you are watering
whether the plants are grown under artificial lighting or natural lighting
amount of light the orchids are receiving
whether you are growing indoors or outdoors
how long you have had the plants for
