doritis pulcherrima marmorata
I got this Doritis/phalenopsis yesterday and pictures don't do it justice. I bought it based on the foliage alone (but I can see it's had 2 spent spikes previously which is great).
From what I understand it's a kind of terrestrial type and was planted in pure rock wool cubes. The flask roots had rotted but all the new roots were in great condition so it's now in semi hydroponics and hope it takes, it had some new tips so thought I'd take the opportunity to repot now.
Although I'd love flowers soon, I'd be content if it just grew more and more leaves. It's a smaller species than I expected which is good because space is always an issue.
Anyone else have any other varieties thhey have experience with? From what I've read they like less light than a standard intergeneric phal.
