Cattleya Chyong Mil

An elegant and robust sympodial hybrid resulting from the cross between C. Chyong Guu Swan and C. Mildred Rives, this orchid showcases upright, strong pseudobulbs. It produces spectacular terminal inflorescences displaying very large, crisp flowers with heavily ruffled petals, a boldly contrasting lip, and an incredibly sweet, permeating fragrance.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; providing a high-light environment encourages robust growth and reliable, abundant blooming.
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); thrives comfortably in intermediate to warm conditions and appreciates a gentle drop in temperature at night.
• Humidity: 50–70%; maintaining moderate to high humidity with consistent, gentle air circulation is vital for preserving spotless, healthy foliage.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and let the coarse potting medium dry out completely between applications, slightly tapering off during the cooler winter rest.

Additional Notes
