Phalaenopsis captivates people with its elegant flower shape, and scented varieties bring even more surprises. Today, we introduce three Phalaenopsis varieties with "natural fragrance" that flower enthusiasts shouldn't miss.
### 1. Chanel
As a highly recognizable variety among scented Phalaenopsis, Chanel lives up to its name with a "high-end vibe". Its fragrance accurately replicates the sweet scent of "Chanel ice cream" — a fresh, non-cloying milky sweetness with a hint of coolness, like vanilla ice cream on a summer day, gentle and healing.
When in clusters, the fragrance has a noticeable diffusion. Placing a single pot in the living room or bedroom will fill the space with a light sweet scent, which is neither overpowering nor pungent, allowing you to feel the faint fragrance at all times.
It also performs excellently in terms of flowering period. With proper care, a single flowering period can last about 2 months. The flowers are neatly arranged, with thick and shiny petals, combining ornamental value and fragrance. It is one of the top choices for beginners to start with scented Phalaenopsis.
### 2. Xianglian Bogeli
Xianglian Bogeli and Chanel are known as the "Sweet Fragrance Twins". Its fragrance characteristics are very similar to Chanel, also a sweet and soft milky scent, but the concentration is slightly lighter, more subtle.
It's worth noting that this variety has an overall slow growth rate. It requires more patience from seedling to mature plant, with leaves unfurling slowly and flower buds differentiating relatively late. However, once it blooms, both the fragrance and flower shape are highly ornamental.
During maintenance, a stable temperature and humidity environment (temperature 20-25℃, humidity 60-70%) should be provided. Avoid frequent repotting or sudden environmental changes. Only with slow cultivation can its unique charm be fully displayed.
### 3. Red Martin
If you prefer the classic orchid fragrance, Red Martin is an excellent choice. Its scent is a pure "original orchid fragrance" — a fresh and elegant herbal aroma with a hint of woody notes, neither sweet nor cloying, with the transparency of natural plants, which is soothing to the body and mind.
As a variety with extremely strong reblooming ability, Red Martin's flowering period is a "benchmark in the industry": a single plant's single flowering period can generally last about 6 months, and if properly maintained after flowering, it can shoot stems and bloom again, making it very suitable for flower lovers who hope to enjoy it for a long time.
Its flowers are dark pink to red, with a stretched and elegant shape. Combined with its long-lasting fragrance and ultra-long flowering period, it is a "powerful" variety with both practicality and ornamental value.
### Tips for Maintaining Scented Phalaenopsis
1. **Fragrance release is related to temperature**: The fragrance is more intense when the ambient temperature is 20-25℃; when the temperature is too low (below 15℃) or too high (above 30℃), the fragrance will fade.
2. **Ventilation is key**: Scented Phalaenopsis should be placed in a well-ventilated location, which not only allows the fragrance to diffuse naturally but also avoids root rot caused by a stuffy and humid environment.
3. **Avoid frequent movement during flowering**: Try to fix the placement position during flowering. Frequent movement can easily lead to bud drop and affect the viewing period.
