Phalaenopsis ANTHURA PUEBLA Description
Phalaenopsis ANTHURA PUEBLA stands out for its vivid pink-purple coloration. In the reference flower image, the broad, rounded lateral petals show a gentle transition from lighter edges to richer purple tones toward the center.
Fine, lighter-colored veins run across the petals, creating a delicate radiating pattern. The upper sepal is more elongated and displays visible longitudinal lines. The lower sepals share the purple coloration with lighter areas.
The lip is especially distinctive: it has a deep burgundy, almost wine-colored appearance, with small yellow-orange accents and dark speckles near its base.

What Makes This Hybrid Special?
The main visual feature of ANTHURA PUEBLA is the combination of saturated pink-purple petals and a contrasting dark lip. Delicate lighter veins give the flowers a layered, textured appearance.
Rather than a dense spotted or net-like pattern, the flower draws attention through its purple coloration and subtle tonal transitions.
Phalaenopsis ANTHURA PUEBLA Care
General hybrid Phalaenopsis care recommendations are suitable for ANTHURA PUEBLA. Provide bright, indirect light. If the orchid is placed near a south-facing window, protect it from strong midday sun.
Water when the bark has noticeably dried, checking both the potting medium and the roots. A transparent pot with drainage holes makes moisture levels easier to monitor. Always allow excess water to drain away completely.
Practical tip: avoid watering on a rigid weekly schedule. How quickly orchid bark dries depends on temperature, light, airflow and pot size.
Care After Flowering
Once the flowers fade, continue regular care. A completely dry flower spike can be trimmed with a clean tool. If the spike remains green, immediate removal is not always necessary.
