Rhyncholaeliocattleya Dalia Andrade

A fragrant hybrid of Rlc. Goldenzelle × Rlc. Magic Meadow, this warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid produces two large blooms per spike with broad, rounded petals and narrow, velvety sepals contrasting dramatically with a wide, heavily ruffled lip featuring an orange-striped throat. The flowers combine exceptional substance with a bold, high-impact form.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the broad petals.
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); a warm grower that benefits from a 10°F (5°C) night drop to encourage blooming.
• Humidity: 60–80%; maintain consistent humidity with a tray or misting, especially during dry seasons.
• Watering: Water thoroughly 1–2 times per week and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; good air circulation around the roots is essential.

Additional Notes

Thrives in a coarse bark mix or unglazed clay pot that promotes rapid drying between waterings. Ships bare root and well-established — roots are healthy and ready to adapt quickly to your growing conditions.
