Cattleya maxima f. coerulea 'Gigi' x 'Angelo' X 'Scott'

A grand and highly sophisticated cross of this majestic species native to Ecuador, combining elite pedigree to showcase its robust upright growth habit. This exceptional lineage produces strong, erect inflorescences from mature pseudobulbs, presenting an elegant, crowded canopy of large and highly fragrant blossoms that bring striking sophistication to any collection.

• Light: Bright indirect light or filtered morning sun with a 40–50% shade cloth to protect the foliage from scorching.
• Temperature: 59–86°F (15–30°C); a versatile intermediate to warm grower that thrives with a distinct day-to-night drop.
• Humidity: 60–80%; high humidity combined with continuous, gentle air movement prevents stagnant moisture on the leaves.
• Watering: Water heavily during active growth and allow the medium to dry almost completely between applications; reduce frequency during winter rest.

Additional Notes

Potting in a coarse, well-draining bark mixture or mounting on a large cork plaque perfectly accommodates its large growth habit and showy 5-inch (12.5 cm) flowers. Your plant ships bare root and should be thoroughly rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted or mounted upon arrival.
