I love the way this phal looks so much that I have a couple of them arriving this week. They will be my first non-hybrid phals--any difference in growing conditions that you have noticed?
I WANT ONE !!

I live in the Philippines, where the plant is endemic. My hieroglyphicas are either mounted or in wire baskets, as in this photo. They get hosed at least once a day.
Because I live in the concrete jungle that is Manila and I grow in a roofed driveway, my growing area has two fans turned on at least 12 hours a day.
Because of my limitations not all my plants survive well, if at all. Hieroglyphicas are one of those that grow well.
I have a few hybrids, and definitely, hybrids are easier to bloom compared to species.
Please note that you have different conditions and more than likely you are growing your own phals in a pot, so what I do may not be best for your plants.
If you look at the petals in the closeup shot, you can just make out the characters in ancient Egyptian. They read: "Instructions for Care..."

...oh yeah, I see it now: "wash cool, no bleach, hang dry." Well, that's easy! It's important to read the fine print.
You two missed the important part - "fabrique en Phillipines"![]()
I knew it was there somewhere, but I think that petal was partially obscured.

Is that a Kiki in the top picture??
