The Phalaenopsis Sogo Vivien 'Variegata' is a prized Taiwanese hybrid combining cream-striped foliage with 5-7cm pink spring blooms. Thriving in stable 20-28°C temperatures, this medium-sized orchid demands bright indirect light (1,500-2,500 lux) to maintain its variegation without scorching. The 'Sogo' designation reflects premium breeding standards, while its rare variegated leaves make it a standout even when not flowering. Grow in sphagnum moss or fine bark, watering only when roots turn silvery to prevent rot. While the flowers last 2-3 months, the plant's true value lies in its year-round striped foliage appeal. Limited commercial production and genetic instability in variegation contribute to its collector's item status.
As with any orchid, it's essential to monitor the specific needs of your Phalaenopsis bellina Fire × sib and adjust care accordingly based on your growing conditions and observations.
