That one entered my list of things to get "some day".
Are the leaves naturally mottled, or is that some kind of frosting or residue from watering?

I use RO and only 30 ppm N, so it's not mineral deposits. Interestingly enough, that mottling is only on the flowering growths, while the others are just clear green.

Googling a bit, it seems to be something like the frosting that can be seen on grapes.
Pretty plant!

That is cool. I can see where it got it's name from.

Ray,
I realize that this is an old post, but I have just acquired one. Will you please share your growing conditions? Light? Humidity? Temp?
I hope it will like phal conditions in SW FL. I have a terrarium if it needs cooler.
Thank you,
Carolyn
