The Japanese Blue-Eyed Phalaenopsis orchid. First of all, it should be noted that the common Japanese Blue-Eyed Phalaenopsis orchids in the market are likely to have been dyed.
The natural colors of Phalaenopsis orchids usually do not include blue. And for this kind of Phalaenopsis orchid with a blue color, its base color is often white or other lighter colors. During the flowering period, the color is changed by irrigating with dye. The commonly used dye colors include not only blue but also yellow, orange, purple, cyan, etc. This dyeing technique is rather deceptive. Even when observed closely or touched, it is difficult to detect any anomaly.
However, not all Japanese Blue-Eyed Phalaenopsis orchids are dyed. During the process of flower cultivation and variety improvement, Phalaenopsis orchid varieties with similar blue color characteristics may also emerge. But this requires professional flower breeders to achieve through specific cultivation methods and long-term breeding work.
