Rhyncholaeliocattleya Pumapungo

This fragrant hybrid showcases large, showy flowers with rich coloration and classic cattleya form, rewarding growers with multiple blooms throughout the year when given warm conditions and bright light.

• Light: Bright, indirect light with 30-50% shade cloth. Avoid direct midday sun which can scorch leaves.
• Temperature: Warm grower. Daytime 70-85°F (21-29°C), nighttime 60-65°F (16-18°C). Benefits from consistent warmth year-round.
• Humidity: 50-70% with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues. Use humidity trays or room humidifiers.
• Watering: Water when medium approaches dryness, typically every 5-7 days. Mounted plants need more frequent watering; reduce slightly in winter.
