An eye-catching primary hybrid resulting from the cross between C. harpophylla and C. tigrina. This sympodial orchid features slender pseudobulbs that yield striking, star-shaped blossoms with a brilliant contrast between the elongated tepals and a beautifully detailed, wavy lip.
-
Light: Bright indirect light to mimic its natural canopy habitat; provide around 40–60% shade while avoiding harsh, direct midday sun.
-
Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); an intermediate to warm grower that thrives in consistent, warm conditions.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; high ambient humidity ensures vigorous pseudobulb development and optimal health.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the growing medium approaches dryness, but ensure sharp drainage to keep the root system from remaining waterlogged.
Additional Notes
This hybrid produces medium-sized flowers that elegantly showcase the vibrant heritage of its parent species. It ships bare root and should be rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted into a well-draining orchid mix upon arrival.
