Phalaenopsis
Breeding your success is what we stand for. We have specialised in the propagation of orchids and tropical plants since 1933. A desire for perfection and the aim to develop strong, profitable and distinctive varieties for our customers are the driving forces behind Floricultura and its staff.
At our locations in the Netherlands, India, Brazil, Poland, China and the United States we produce a wide range of orchids and anthuriums for every grower, every climate zone, and for every kind of consumer. Our Phalaenopsis young plants are guaranteed peat free and most of them are sorted by the newest generation of robots before they are being shipped to you. Plant uniformity you can rely on.
Only the novelties that meet the most stringent quality requirements are introduced into the market. We have once set the industry standard to minimum 70 days of vase life (flowering time). Now we are setting the bar even higher; 51 Phalaenopsis varieties already have a vase life of 90 days or more.
Our success is founded on our extensive research, unique genetics and over 90 years of expertise. At our research and breeding locations in the
Netherlands, we ensure both breadth and depth in our range of orchids. Our goal is to guarantee you good yields!
I am proud to present you this new catalogue where you can find our current Phalaenopsis assortment, including a wide range of new varieties. Be amazed!

Phalaenopsis Lingua series
Vase life / flowering time
All varieties with a Royal FloraHolland tested vase life longer than 70 days have been given a special icon on their photograph. We have categorised these vase lifes, starting with 70 days and over as the lowest category, and ending with 170 days and over as the highest category.
Although we internally test our varieties for 70 days, not all Phalaenopsis varieties in this catalogue have been given a vase life icon yet. This is because a number of tests are still waiting to be completed at Royal FloraHolland These are still in the pipeline, so to speak. For the latest information, we kindly advise you to check our website www.floricultura.com.
Royal FloraHolland vase life tests
The vase life is based on longevity tests conducted by Royal FloraHolland. What’s important to know is that these tests are conducted in a setting that simulates an average Western European living room, with varieties that are grown under average Dutch conditions. Therefore, the vase life of these same varieties, if they are grown in other parts of the world, may differ. Please remember, however, that these longevity tests are always purely indicative and subject to deviations.
