Tetraspis C1

Is that colour pattern what you were hoping to achiever? It looks nice.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments.

It is indeed what I was hoping for. I had read somewhere that light was a factor in getting more red, so I had it directly under the light. I might play with the lights to see if I can get red bars on white next.

The first one I had bloomed completely white in the winter. It bloomed again in the summer and displayed the random blotching. I think temperature as well as light intensity play a part in color development.

I would love to hear more about how you care for this phal, as well to see more photos of the whole plant. Lovely flower!!

I have a near blooming size in s/h that has grown a new leaf and is working on another since I got it in September. I am hoping for spikes next year!

I'm not entirely responsible for the spike. It developed immediately after I got it this past spring, grew a bit and stalled in September. I moved it from natural light to LED (~1100 fc) and added a heat mat and it resumed growing. It is a first for this plant.





It originally came in sphag and I switched it to CHC. I'm going to change it to dry LECA, since the other Phals like that even better.

Thanks so much for the additional pics. I hope mine blooms red like yours!

I just love it! I'm just starting with species phals, though, and I am out of space, so I am not going to go and search for one, at least not at the moment. Thank you for sharing. It is really a nice one.

This plant is capable of producing multiple spikes and branches with different patterns on the same spike! I had one with 4 spikes and 10 flowers of different patterns. Very rewarding. Most spikes stay green and rebloom for 2-4 seasons! So don't cut off the spike!!
