Phaiocalanthe Kryptonite

This spectacular intergeneric hybrid, a cross between Cal. Rozel and Phaius tankervilleae, is a vigorous grower that produces tall, stately inflorescences. Its long-lasting, waxy blooms emerge from the base of large, pleated, fan-like leaves, making it a standout choice for any collection seeking a dramatic floral display.

• Light: Bright, indirect light; protect from intense sun to avoid scorching the thin, delicate foliage.
• Temperature: 58–75°F (14–24°C); thrives in intermediate to warm conditions with stable, comfortable ambient temperatures.
• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity helps maintain the lush appearance of the broad leaves and supports active growth.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture in the substrate during the growing season, allowing only slight drying; reduce watering slightly after flowering to mimic its natural cycle.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a large, sturdy container using a rich, well-draining terrestrial mix to support its robust root system. Ships bare root; upon arrival, rehydrate in a shaded, intermediate-temperature environment before planting in your preferred substrate.
