Sophrolaeliocattleya Hwa Yuang Star ' Pink Gilr' h00146

A compact Cattleya alliance hybrid with broad, overlapping petals and robust sepals that frame a deeply ruffled, frilled labelo. The plant grows on strong pseudobulbs with firm, leathery leaves suited to warm intermediate conditions.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: 60–85°F (15–29°C); a warm grower that appreciates a slight 10°F (5°C) night drop to initiate blooming. Minimum 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: 50–70%; good air circulation prevents fungal issues and supports robust pseudobulb development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the medium to approach dryness before watering again; never allow the roots to sit in standing water.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a coarse, well-draining epiphyte mix (bark, perlite, or mounted) that allows excellent root aeration. Ships bare root, well-established.
