Brassolaeliocattleya Jerry Ton

This classic intergeneric hybrid delivers spectacular large blooms with excellent form and delightful fragrance, combining the best traits of the Cattleya alliance to create a rewarding display that captivates both visually and aromatically.

• Light: Bright light with 30-50% shade cloth. Thrives with some direct morning or evening sun, but shield from intense midday rays to prevent leaf damage.
• Temperature: Intermediate grower. Daytime 70-80°F (21-27°C), nighttime 60-65°F (16-18°C). Benefits from a 10-15°F (5-8°C) day-night temperature differential to encourage robust flowering.
• Humidity: 50-70% with excellent air movement. Adapts well to typical household conditions with occasional misting or humidity trays, provided air circulation is maintained.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when medium becomes nearly dry, typically every 5-7 days. Allow slight drying between waterings; reduce frequency after flowering during rest period.
