Cattleya warscewiczii

A magnificent species from the mountain forests of South America, renowned for producing the largest and most robust growth habit within the entire genus. Its sturdy, upright pseudobulbs yield spectacular, nearly vertical inflorescences bearing an impressive cluster of exceptionally large, fragrant, and heavily textured flowers that create an overwhelming display of grandeur.

• Light: Bright indirect light or filtered sunlight with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to safeguard the clean foliage.
• Temperature: 59–86°F (15–30°C); an adaptable intermediate grower that benefits from a slight night drop to mimic its native environment.
• Humidity: 60–80%; maintaining consistent atmospheric moisture supports uniform growth and robust new root development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when actively growing and allow the potting medium to dry almost completely before repeating.
