Cattleya maxima 'Churonita' x 'La Esperada' cod 3289

An exceptional sibling cross of a majestic species native to Ecuador, featuring two highly select and outstanding parent clones. This vigorous grower produces large, beautifully proportioned flowers on strong, upright spikes that elevate the blooms elegantly above the foliage.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40-60% shade cloth; optimal illumination supports strong pseudobulbs and regular flowering.
• Temperature: 60-86°F (16-30°C); adapts beautifully to intermediate and warm conditions with a distinct day-to-night temperature drop.
• Humidity: 60-80%; consistent ambient humidity coupled with excellent air movement is vital for optimal health.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and let the growing medium dry out significantly between applications to keep the root system pristine.

Additional Notes

Growing this medium-to-large plant in an open, coarse bark mix inside well-ventilated pots or slats will showcase its large, magnificent flowers to perfection. All plants are shipped bare root and must be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted up immediately upon arrival.
