Cattleya Porphyrophlebia

A primary hybrid of C. purpurata × C. intermedia. This exceptional hybrid inherits a robust growth habit with slender pseudobulbs and bifoliate characteristics, producing striking, high-quality blooms. The flowers display a refined, well-proportioned structure inherited from its parents, creating a magnificent presence.

• Light: Requires bright, filtered indirect light; avoid direct sun exposure. Strong, filtered light levels encourage prolific blooming and healthy pseudobulb development.
• Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); thrives in intermediate conditions and benefits from a slight temperature drop at night with good air circulation.
• Humidity: 60–80%; moderate to high humidity supports optimal growth and helps sustain long-lasting, vibrant flowers.
• Watering: Water thoroughly during the active growing season, allowing the medium to approach dryness between waterings; prevent prolonged wetness at the roots.

Additional Notes

A highly rewarding hybrid featuring large, visually stunning flowers. Best grown in a well-draining bark mix in a pot sized to the root system. Plants are shipped bare root and well established; pot promptly upon arrival and water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots.
