-
Light: Bright, direct morning sunlight or bright, filtered light to promote blooming. Maintain medium olive-green leaves by providing optimal light conditions.
-
Temperature: An intermediate-to-warm grower. Thrives in daytime temperatures of 68-86°F (20-30°C).
-
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (50-70%) is recommended for healthy growth. Ensure good air movement, especially when humidity is high.
-
Watering: Allow the potting mix to dry out almost completely before watering thoroughly again. The pseudobulbs store water, making this orchid tolerant of a dry period. Ensure excellent drainage.
Additional Notes
The flowers are typically large and showy with a heavy substance and a classic Cattleya shape. They are often fragrant and come in vibrant colors, usually featuring a prominent, contrasting, frilled lip.
