A hybrid of Rlc. Haadyai Delight × Rlc. Caesar's Head, this warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid produces large, full-formed flowers with broad, rounded petals of excellent substance and a dramatically ruffled lip with a vivid yellow throat. The compact, well-balanced floral form reflects the quality of both parents.
-
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 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.
