Cattleya Chian-Tzy Mildcompton

A striking sympodial hybrid resulting from the cross between C. Mildred Rives and C. Shellie Compton, this orchid features robust, upright pseudobulbs and a vigorous growth habit. It produces terminal inflorescences that bear exceptionally large, crystalline flowers with a dramatically contrasting lip and an intense, sweet fragrance that commands attention.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; provide strong, filtered light to ensure healthy growth and reliable blooming.
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); thrives in warm to intermediate conditions and benefits from a slight drop in nighttime temperatures.
• Humidity: 50–70%; maintain consistent humidity accompanied by gentle air movement to support clean, pristine foliage.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the potting medium to dry almost completely between waterings, slightly reducing the frequency during the winter.

Additional Notes

This medium to large-sized plant produces magnificent, showy flowers, making it a perfect centerpiece for any collection. Ships bare root and well-established, requiring thorough rehydration and immediate potting in an airy orchid mix upon arrival.
