"Quality Plants At Reasonable Prices"
Due to our decision to expand our Cattleya inventory, we have decided to eliminate Phalaenopsis from our offerings.
We apologize for any inconvenience and hope that the following culture quick guide will be of some help to you.
Information for this quick guide was taken from an article in the 1988 March issue of the American Orchid Society Bulletin.
