Cattleya bicalhoi f. coerulea

This small-sized orchid species native to South America is highly treasured for its remarkable, compact form and striking flowers. The f. coerulea form is especially prized by collectors for its unique and elegant bluish-toned blooms.

• Light: Requires bright, filtered indirect light; avoid direct sun exposure. Providing strong, filtered light encourages healthy growth and regular flowering.
• Temperature: 50–82°F (10–28°C). Thrives in warm conditions and benefits from a distinct temperature drop at night with consistent air movement.
• Humidity: 60–80%; moderate to high humidity paired with excellent air circulation supports optimal development and healthy root systems.
• Watering: Water thoroughly during the active growing season, allowing the medium to approach dryness between waterings. Provide a drier winter rest to encourage proper bud development and prolific blooming.

Additional Notes:

This lowland to montane species features eye-catching flowers with distinctive visual appeal. It is ideally grown mounted on a tree fern slab or in a well-draining bark mix in a small pot sized tightly to its root system. Plants are shipped bare root and well established; pot or mount promptly upon arrival and water thoroughly to rehydrate the roots.
