Cattleya Super Andes

An exceptional hybrid bred from the outstanding cross between C. purpurata and C. Virgen de Guadalupe, delivering remarkable floral impact and uniform vigor. This upright, robust epiphyte develops strong pseudobulbs that yield a spectacular display of large, heavily textured flowers beautifully held on sturdy, prominent inflorescences.

• Light: Bright indirect light or filtered sunlight with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to safeguard the clean foliage.
• Temperature: 59–86°F (15–30°C); a highly adaptable grower that thrives in warm to cool intermediate conditions.
• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent atmospheric moisture encourages strong, proactive root development and healthy vegetative growth.
• Watering: Water heavily during active growth, but allow the potting medium to dry thoroughly between applications to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

Growing this variety in a coarse, fast-draining bark mix ensures optimal root aeration to maximize its impressive plant and flower size. Ships bare root, well established, and ready to be rehydrated at an intermediate temperature and promptly potted upon receipt.
