Oh wow... my list wish keeps growing too is the bad thing.

I have several cultivars of Yungho Gelblitz. This is the only one that is easy to grow. Most common Phals are pretty easy, but this cross is not at all.

Thanks everyone!

( I forget about the "like" thing on here. I see a lot of flowers I like, but don't really have an insightful comment. I need to click the "like" thing more.)

Except this cultivar, the other plants I have of this cross grow slowly or almost not at all it seems. They are prone to root rot. Its been very difficult to keep them going. Tedious.

I see, thank you.
Plants that grow slowly are frustrating enough. If they are also prone to root rot, they become more than a nuissance
I asked because I have 2 slow growers that puzzle me (Princess Kaiulani var. alba and lueddemanniana var. Mindanao).
