p.s. trimming them won't work; all you'll get is reduced/no flowers and reduced health

Yes, it's natural hybrid of discolor and bigibbum. 2 m+ is too big because I'm looking for 1 m max.
If bigibbum tends to be smaller, I'll get bigibbum instead. And I wonder if Den. phalaenopsis and bigibbum is the same species?

There are a lot of D. phalaenopsis hybrids being hybridized with the aim of smaller plants.

I see. I'll get the smaller Den. phalaenopsis / bigibbum instead.
