Combo Phalaenopsis - What is it? Male
Default Combo Phalaenopsis - What is it?

Hello, my friends

I saw on a market something called Combo Phalaenopsis. I've searched for it in google and it seems that it is like an arrangement of a decorative pot with a very small phal inside...I mean very small, the pot with the phal could be grabbed with one hand only (it probably weights less than 0,5 kg...really small). And all the plants had flowers.

What kind of phalaenopsis are those?

There are mini and compact phal hybrids (as well as species obviously) that stay quite small. If your market is anything like the U.S., then it's probably not a species phal, more likely a hybrid.

It's also possible that it's a small-to-medium size phal that will eventually outgrow the pot. Many phals start producing flower spikes while they're quite young, and sometimes the phal producers will "force" the plants into blooming even if they're small.

I suppose without photos of the blooms, it's probably not possible to really ID the plants, especially if they don't have labels.

It's not a kind.

It's more than one plant in the pot, so there are TONS of flowers to give a really great show.
