Rhyncholaeliocattleya King of Taiwan Golden

A fragrant hybrid of Rlc. Bryce Canyon × Rlc. Purple Ruby, this warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid produces multiple large blooms per spike with exceptionally broad petals and sepals bearing intensely ruffled, fringed edges across the entire floral surface. The wide, dramatically frilled lip with a vivid yellow throat and deep dark center creates an extraordinary visual impact rarely matched in the Cattleya alliance.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the broad, ruffled 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 1–2 times per week 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.
