Fengxue Cold Orchid Variety Introduction and Main Characteristics

Fengxue often sends up one shoot while another dies back, though some friends say theirs grows fairly well. Besides the above phenomenon, some vendors also say that Fengxue sometimes, especially when the temperature is on the high side, produces flowers that turn green or yellow. With this question in mind, I had the good fortune to consult someone who could be called the number one Fengxue grower in China, Mr. Shen of the botanical garden. According to Mr. Shen, the reason this phenomenon occurs is mainly that most Fengxue on the market today is tissue-cultured by Koreans, then sold to our compatriots in Taiwan, China, and afterward sold to us. How should I put it? In some respects we really are a bit ignorant and backward. So the price has dropped substantially. And in Japan there is not much true Fengxue either. Mr. Shen then took me to see the Fengxue he grows, and according to him it never blooms neither white nor green, but only blooms whiter and whiter. The reason it turns out neither white nor green is that the genes of the second generation of tissue-cultured Fengxue are unstable.
