I just saw a miniature Phal with a mottled effect on its leaves, and after trying to gently rub the spots off to see if they were fake, I decided to buy it, but I just thought I'd double check that the leaves are actually patterned instead of it being something artificial.
The flowers are pretty even if it does turn out the leaves aren't naturally patterned, I love these miniature types with their masses of flowers!
Will new leaves also have this patterning? Is there anything I can do to help enhance it - I know some variegated plants need more light to keep their patterns, are orchids also like this?
