The Phalaenopsis Lyndon Mix Zebra '870' is a highly sought-after, novelty hybrid orchid cultivar famous for its striking appearance and wonderful scent. It is a unique clone or "selected cultivar" from a cross between Phalaenopsis Lyndon Mixture and Phalaenopsis K.S. Super Zebra, registered by Lyndon Orchids. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Features of the '870' Cultivar
  • Stunning Flowers: This specific '870' clone produces prominent, medium-to-large blooms (typically around 8–10 centimeters). The flowers feature a crisp white backdrop covered in bold, dramatic maroon or magenta zebra-like stripes. [1, 2, 3]
  • Delightful Fragrance: Unlike common store-bought moth orchids, this variety is highly prized for its strong, pleasant scent. It is often described as a wonderfully sweet, citrusy, and tangy aroma. [1, 2, 3]
  • Waxy Substance: The petals have a thick, glossy, "waxy" texture. This thick texture makes individual blooms last a very long time on the plant. [1, 2, 3]
  • Ever-Blooming Habit: It belongs to the Polychilos section of Phalaenopsis orchids. This means it can bloom sequentially throughout the year, especially during summer. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Crucial Care Instructions
Because of its unique genetic background, it needs slightly different care than regular supermarket orchids:
  • Do Not Cut Old Flower Spikes: As a Polychilos hybrid, this orchid can re-flower on old green spikes while simultaneously growing new ones. Only cut a flower stem if it turns completely brown and dry.
  • Warmth and Light: It prefers warm room temperatures and slightly higher light than standard moth orchids. Keep it in bright, indirect light, but avoid harsh, burning afternoon sun.
  • Water and Media: These are typically grown in 2.5-inch pots using premium sphagnum moss or a fine bark mix. Water the plant when the potting medium feels mostly dry to the touch, ensuring excellent drainage so the roots never sit in soggy water. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
