Dossisia marmorata var dayii, bright crystalline veins that contrast the leaves. One of the "Jewel Orchids"
Species/Hybrid: Species
Plant size: seedling, 2-3+ years from BS
Pot size: 2 inch pot
Fragrant?: No
Culture: I would say that you can mimic novelty Phalaenopis cultural conditions, but humidity and/or watering can be more important than with Phalaenopsis due to the difference in leaf structure. I would keep these just barely approaching dryness (dampness of a wrung out sponge) between waterings. They will appreciate normal household temperatures and slightly above (65F-80s F), if watering, humidity, and air flow is appropriate. Good candidates for terrarium culture. If humidity is too low, the leaves will get crispy.
