Phalaenopsis celebica

Phalaenopsis celebica is a name published by Vloten in 1932 in the Bandung journal De Orchidee; the epithet refers to Celebes (Sulawesi). It is not in Kew's checklist as an accepted native species, GBIF has no wild records, and it is very likely a synonym or an old name for a Sulawesi plant now known under another name. Treat the conditions below as general lowland Sulawesi Phalaenopsis culture.
