Cattleya coccinea var miniata

A highly striking variety from the mountain cloud forests of South America, this choice selection is celebrated for its remarkably compact growth and vibrant presence. The dwarf pseudobulbs produce single, leathery leaves and yield exceptionally charming, long-lasting blooms with beautifully saturated, overlapping segments that instantly capture attention.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 60–70% shade cloth; avoid intense direct sun to prevent heat stress on the small foliage.
• Temperature: 59–79°F (15–26°C); a cool to intermediate grower that thrives with a distinct temperature drop at night.
• Humidity: 60–80%; high atmospheric moisture coupled with continuous air movement ensures healthy development.
• Watering: Water regularly to maintain even moisture around the roots; ensure rapid drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Additional Notes

This miniature plant is perfect for cork mounting or small pots with high-quality sphagnum moss to best display its exceptionally full, rounded flowers. It ships bare root, well-established, and ready to be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before potting or mounting.
