Can phaleonopsis sanderiana have mottled leaves?
 

I received a phal tagged as a sanderiana, but everything I have been able to find on sanderiana has not shown mottled leaves. I will post a picture when I reach the post count.

The phal currently has roots without the velamen, and had an erwinia infection, affecting the top leaf. It looks like I have it currently under control. Hopefully I can get it back to good health so I can see a flower to help with ID.

Attaching picture to compare.

Welcome to the Orchid Board!

I don't know the answer to your question, but other people here do. Hope you get the infection under control and your plant grows on.

Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking awhile and have learned a lot from you.

I'm not sure if I would call it mottled (like P. schilleriana or P. stuartiana), but the leaves have a slightly marbled pattern with deeper green and grayish green. You can see the photo of leaves here: phal. sanderiana

Hmm. The leaves on my plant do not look like the leaves in that photo. I'll try uploading a picture.

Mottled leaves leading to believe it is not sanderiana.
