Cattleya Cora Menezes

An outstanding primary hybrid combining the finest traits of C. intermedia and C. dowiana, this attractive plant boasts a strong, upright growth habit with robust, bifoliate pseudobulbs. The elegant, well-structured inflorescences display beautifully shaped flowers with a prominently flared and richly detailed lip, making it a highly desirable addition to any collection.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; provide strong, filtered illumination to maximize growth and flowering potential.

• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent atmospheric humidity combined with good air circulation encourages robust root systems and pristine foliage.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the potting medium approaches dryness; ensure rapid drainage so the roots never stay waterlogged.
