Cattleya Máximo Gómez

A stunning new hybrid pairing the heavily spotted C. Mareeba Tiger with the majestic C. dowiana, creating an exceptionally showy display. It exhibits a robust growth habit with sturdy pseudobulbs that produce short, upright inflorescences bearing large, fragrant flowers with brilliantly patterned segments and rich, velvety lips.

• Light: Bright indirect light with a 40–50% shade cloth; avoid intense afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorching.
• Temperature: 65–86°F (18–30°C); an intermediate to warm grower that thrives with a noticeable temperature drop at night.
• Humidity: 60–80%; regular air movement is critical alongside high humidity to keep the foliage pristine.
• Watering: Water heavily during active growth, allowing the potting medium to dry almost completely between applications.

Additional Notes

Potting in a coarse, well-draining bark mix or a slatted wooden basket allows for the rapid wet-to-dry cycles these thick roots prefer. Ships bare root, well established, and should be thoroughly rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted upon arrival.
