Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Phalaenopsis plant named ‘MI00901’, characterized by its relatively compact and upright plant habit; moderately vigorous to vigorous growth habit; strong flowering stems; freely flowering habit with typically two racemes per plant, each inflorescence with numerous flowers; and concave white-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Phalaenopsis hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MI00901’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Phalaenopsis plant, botanically known as Phalaenopsis hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘MI00901’.
The new Phalaenopsis plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lochristi, Belgium. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new freely flowering Phalaenopsis plants with good leaf shape and unique and attractive flower patterns and coloration.
The new Phalaenopsis plant originated from a cross-pollination in December, 2009 in Lochristi, Belgium of Phalaenopsis hybrida ‘Ikaria’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,778, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Phalaenopsis hybrida identified as code number PH01770, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Phalaenopsis plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Lochristi, Belgium in August, 2013.
Asexual reproduction of the new Phalaenopsis plant by in vitro meristem propagation in a controlled environment in Lochristi, Belgium since November, 2014 has shown that the unique features of this new Phalaenopsis plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘MI00901’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MI00901’ as a new and distinct Phalaenopsis plant:
    • 1. Relatively compact and upright plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous to vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Strong flowering stems.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit with typically two racemes per plant, each inflorescence with numerous flowers.
    • 5. Concave white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Ikaria’. Plants of the new Phalaenopsis differ primarily from plants of ‘Ikaria’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Phalaenopsis are more compact than plants of ‘Ikaria’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Phalaenopsis are more freely flowering than plants of ‘Ikaria’.
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Phalaenopsis differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Leaves of plants of the new Phalaenopsis are lighter and brighter green in color than leaves of plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Phalaenopsis are concave whereas flowers of plants of the male parent selection are flat.
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis can be compared to plants of Phalaenopsis hybrida ‘Dame Blanche’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,346. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Phalaenopsis differ primarily from plants of ‘Dame Blanche’ in flower shape as flowers of the new Phalaenopsis are concave whereas flowers of plants of ‘Dame Blanche’ are flat.
Plants of the new Phalaenopsis can also be compared to plants of Phalaenopsis hybrida ‘MI00419’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Phalaenopsis differ primarily from plants of ‘MI00419’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Phalaenopsis have larger leaves than plants of ‘MI00419’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Phalaenopsis are more freely flowering than plants of ‘MI00419’.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Phalaenopsis are broader than flowers of plants of ‘MI00419’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Phalaenopsis plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Phalaenopsis plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘MI00901’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘MI00901’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the autumn and early winter in 10-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Lochristi, Belgium and under cultural practices typically used in commercial Phalaenopsis production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 29° C. and light levels ranged from 150 Watt/m2 to 375 Watt/m2. Plants were 76 weeks old when the photographs and description were taken.
