Cattleya Maximum Lust

An outstanding primary hybrid resulting from the cross between C. maxima and C. lueddemanniana, showcasing a robust and vigorous growth habit with upright, sturdy pseudobulbs. It produces excellent, compact inflorescences that carry large, highly fragrant blossoms featuring beautifully expanded, intricately patterned lips that instantly command attention.

• Light: Bright indirect light with a 40–50% shade cloth; protect the foliage from intense or direct afternoon sun.
• Temperature: 61–86°F (16–30°C); a adaptable intermediate to warm grower that benefits from a slight night drop.
• Humidity: 60–80%; reliable atmospheric humidity coupled with gentle, continuous air movement ensures optimal foliage health.
• Watering: Water thoroughly during active root development, allowing the medium to dry out almost completely between waterings.

Additional Notes

Cultivation in a coarse bark mix or a slatted wooden basket easily accommodates its vigorous rooting system and showy 5-inch (12.5 cm) flowers. Ships bare root, well established, and should be thoroughly rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted upon arrival.
