Laeliocattleya Maritza Segovia

A striking primary hybrid bred from the exceptional cross between C. dowiana and L. splendida, combining the finest architectural qualities of both parents. This robust, upright epiphyte features strong, elongated pseudobulbs that produce tall, elegant inflorescences bearing large, heavily textured flowers with a magnificent presence.

• Light: Bright indirect light or filtered sunlight with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to safeguard the foliage.
• Temperature: 59–86°F (15–30°C); an adaptable intermediate grower that responds beautifully to stable greenhouse or indoor conditions.
• Humidity: 60–80%; maintaining consistent atmospheric moisture supports uniform growth and robust new root development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when actively growing and allow the potting medium to dry almost completely before repeating.

Additional Notes

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