This is the coerulea form of this species, producing sprays of delicate lavender coloured flowers.
Phalaenopsis pulcherrima are small terrestrial plants that will, in time, form large clumps by producing basal offshots. The small cerise flowers open sequentially on a long, erect inflorescence that continues to elongate throughout the flowering season.
Phalaenopsis pulcherrima is found in northeast India, southern China, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Borneo and Sumatra.
Phalaenopsis pulcherrima requires brighter light levels than most other Phalaenopsis in order to flower best.
Plants provided as young plants, at least 2 years from flowering.
