In recent taxonomy, \u003cem\u003ePhalaenopsis speciosa\u003c\/em\u003e is often treated as a synonym; both names remain in use commercially. The plant is medium-sized, with leaves up to 30 cm long and 2–5 lateral, arching flower spikes, often with a slightly zigzag appearance. The flowers are waxy, glossy, and strongly fragrant, usually around 4–5 cm across, with natural variation in color and pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlowering is more frequent in spring, but may also occur during other warm seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 'C1' selection retains the floral type of the tetraspis\/speciosa group, with fragrant flowers and natural color variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt requires moderate to bright, filtered light\u003c\/strong\u003e, approximately 18,000–22,000 lux, with protection from strong sun and, ideally, around 12 hours of light per day. Suitable temperatures are around 22–28°C during the day and 18–22°C at night; a 3–4°C difference between day and night helps promote flowering. It does not require a severe rest period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater when the substrate dries out\u003c\/strong\u003e, then allow the water to drain completely. Do not allow water to remain trapped between the leaves. In a pot, humidity of 55–60% is usually sufficient; when mounted, aim for around ~70%. During active growth, fertilize with a diluted solution (about half the recommended dose) after watering, approximately every third watering, using \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sicretgarden.com\/products\/fertilizant-premium-pentru-orhidee\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eorchid fertilizer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
