-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. An east or west-facing window with filtered sunlight is ideal, or place under grow lights if natural light is insufficient.
-
Temperature: Warm to intermediate conditions, 65-85°F (18-29°C) during the day, with a 10-15°F (5-8°C) drop at night to encourage blooming.
-
Humidity: Maintain 50-70% relative humidity with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the potting medium approaches dryness, typically every 5-7 days. Reduce watering slightly after flowering during the rest period.
Additional Notes:
The blooms are long-lasting and often fragrant, displaying the classic Cattleya form with well-rounded petals and an attractive lip. Plants develop robust pseudobulbs with graceful foliage and produce strong flower spikes.
