Phalaenopsis KS Super Zebra Pylo scent?
 
1 Attachment(s)
My Phalaenopsis KS Super Zebra Pylo just opened and today is its first day fully opened. Its now 11:00 am, but a cloudy day.

I thought this orchid would be more fragrant
I am wondering what your experience is with it?

What time of day does this one tend to be most fragrant?
Do you need a sunny day to activate it?
Does this tend to be a strong scent or just faint one?

I love the visual stimulation but would like some olfactory stimulation too!!

Thanks:waving

You'll most likely get fragrance when temps rise and maybe just in the AM. I don't have this one but that's been the case for me with similar phals. Beautiful bloom...from Big Leaf?

Yes , from big leaf and it came in looking lovely and in spike!
I also bought a Rlc Village Chief Rose KS King Cattleya which also was a nice specimen but not in spike...not sure if this one is a year away from blooming...but it should be gorgeous and fragrant!

A lot of fragrant Phals are most fragrant when it's warm, humid and the light is bright. Mine get a little direct sun in the morning when the sun is low, and they're most fragrant then. But as yours ages it will likely become more fragrant.

I have a KS Super Zebra ‘Yuphon’. I grow it in a warm room but humidity tends to be low. Mine is fragrant mid-morning but I have to sniff the flower to smell it. With my fragrant Phalaenopsis, the flowers usually have to be fully open 24-48 hours before I start noticing a scent. Fragrance is most intense right after a watering.

Not the best/intensely scented phal
 
This phal has beautiful flowers but the scent is unremarkable. It has a spicy scent similar to Phal ambonensis. I have 3 flowers open now and its been several days. The scent is not intense like Phal bellina or violacea and it barely wafts. I would not recommend this one if scent is an important criterion
