- Flowers: Typically produces wine-colored or magenta flowers with creamy green or yellow edges. The blooms are noted for having a "waxy" texture and high substance.
- Fragrance: This hybrid is highly regarded for its sweet, often citrus-like fragrance.
- Blooming Habit: It is a polychilos-type hybrid, meaning it can bloom almost year-round and often produces flowers on old spikes. Owners are advised not to cut old flower spikes unless they have turned brown and dried up, as they can re-flower.
- Light: Requires slightly higher light levels than standard "grocery store" Phalaenopsis, but still prefers bright, indirect light rather than direct midday sun.
- Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions. Unlike some other hybrids, it does not strictly require a significant temperature drop to initiate blooming.
- Potting Media: Generally grown in a mix of orchid bark, sphagnum moss, or coconut husk chips to provide both moisture retention and excellent drainage.
- Watering: Water approximately once a week, allowing the media to approach dryness before watering again.
