Cattleya intermedia f. coerulea 'Gigi'

An exceptional and highly sought-after selection of this classic species from the coastal forests of South America, featuring the esteemed 'Gigi' clonal cultivar. This robust sympodial orchid develops slender, cylindrical pseudobulbs that yield short, terminal inflorescences displaying several long-lasting, beautifully textured blossoms prized for their unique bluish-purple coloration.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; protect the foliage from harsh, direct midday sun.
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); an intermediate to warm grower that thrives in stable environments.
• Humidity: 60–80%; high ambient humidity supports robust pseudobulb growth and healthy development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings, ensuring excellent drainage.

Additional Notes

This small to medium-sized plant yields beautifully proportioned, mid-sized blossoms that adapt seamlessly to mounted or potted setups. It ships bare root and should be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted into a loose, well-draining orchid mix upon arrival.
