Awesome, thanks for answering Xiao, you saw the first one I posted. What do you think?


I love orchids and all lily type plants. And i love variegate too. So variegate orchids will receive double love Hilarious!

I think that stripe variegation is genetically caused.

Non genetically causes such as environmental condition, mineral deficiency, stressed, or virus damage also can influence the number of chlorophyl so the leaf not looks as green as usual. But i never know if that causes can produce that neat stripe variegation.

If it grow in my garden i will leave it on that spot. Maybe give some fence to protect. Let it grow and produce another shoot or bulb. Just worry if digging and transer to new location will make it stressed and stop to grow.

Thats my humble opinion. If you sure you can remove and transplant it to more save location without any damage and it will grow happier why not. Smiling
