Steppenwolf Aliceara Orchid
Medium-sized, star-shaped flowers feature white petals, lightly blotched in dark purple with a swath of light cream along the mid-veins and a dark yellow nectar guide. Complex hybrids sometimes are challenging for home gardeners to grow—proof that not all hybrids are vigorous. Bright light, moderate to cool temperatures, high humidity, and exceptionally well-drained soils that never completely dry out are key requirements for success.
