All of my phals are hybrids except for one little Equestris (which is spiking )
My questions are:
1. Is it more difficult to grow species phals than the more common hybrids?
2. Do they require the same conditions? ie temp. humidity and air movement.
3. Do they flower yearly and consistantly?
Well, the Culture sheets and regional charts are based on the growing regions of the species, not hybrids.
So you can very easily establish requirements for the species.
On the other hand many time the Hybrids will take on the blended temperments of both giving it a wider and easier range to grow them in.
I prefer to grow species, because it is easier to figure out its specific needs, and i would rather look at a bloom that was created by my creator rather than a person in a lab.
This is just my preference.
