Genus and species:Phalaenopsishybrid.

Variety denomination: ‘PHA1734832’.

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar ofPhalaenopsisplant, botanically known asPhalaenopsishybrid of the Orchidaceae family, commonly referred to as moth orchid, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘PHA1734832’.

The newPhalaenopsisplant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands. The objective of this breeding program was to create a newPhalaenopsisplant with light greenish-yellow, shaded flowers with yellow and white lips, suitable for potted plant production.

The newPhalaenopsisplant ‘PHA1734832’ is a result of cross-pollination made by the inventor in August 2013 in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands, of the proprietary female, or seed parent,Phalaenopsishybrid ‘33350-01’ (unpatented) with the proprietary male, or pollen parent,Phalaenopsishybrid ‘42375-01’ (unpatented).

The newPhalaenopsiswas selected by the inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands, in July 2016. Asexual reproduction of the newPhalaenopsisplant by meristem tissue culture since 2017 in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands, has demonstrated that the new variety reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations.

Community Plant Variety Rights for this variety have been applied for in the European Union on Sep. 22, 2020 (Application no. 2020/2294), by Applicant who obtained the subject matter disclosed directly from the inventor. ‘PHA1734832’ has not been made publicly available or sold anywhere in the world prior to the effective filing date of this application with the exception of sales or disclosures made one year or less before the effective filing date of this claimed invention by Applicant who obtained ‘PHA1734832’ directly from the inventor.
