Cattleya Egerides

An exceptional primary hybrid combining the finest traits of C. dowiana and C. walkeriana, this attractive plant boasts a strong and highly compact growth habit. The robust inflorescences carry impressively large, heavy-textured flowers with highly striking segments and a prominently developed, velvety lip that commands attention.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; provide strong, filtered illumination to maximize growth and flowering potential.
• Temperature: 61–84°F (16–29°C); a resilient intermediate to warm grower that adapts easily to standard greenhouse or indoor environments.
• 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.

Additional Notes

This classic cross produces magnificent, well-proportioned blooms on a remarkably manageable plant structure that fits beautifully on any greenhouse bench. It ships bare root, healthy, and ready to be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted into an open, airy mix.
