Phalanopsis lips

[Diane56Victor]

Just scored a couple of standard phals from Bunnings for $5 each. They were, of course, on their way out, limp leaves, no flowers, dry as a bone media, but what better way to try out a new genus.

All I've done so far is give the poor things a drink.

I noticed on the other blooming plants the phals have different lips, some are like a full skirt, others are more like fangs.

Different care? Particular parent species?

Can someone explain further about the differences please?
