A spectacular classic hybrid resulting from the cross between C. Intermedia-Gigas and C. Dominiana (1899), combining legendary lineages for exceptional exhibition potential. This robust, upright epiphyte features strong vegetative growth and produces magnificent, heavy-substance spring blossoms with an elegantly formed, eye-catching lip.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the compact foliage.
-
Temperature: 59–79°F (15–26°C); an intermediate to warm grower that adapts well to stable indoor conditions.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity encourages vigorous growth and prolific flowering.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; never allow the roots to remain waterlogged.
Additional Notes
This large-flowered orchid performs best when grown in a coarse, fast-draining bark mix to match its mid-to-large plant size. It ships bare root, well established, and should be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature prior to potting upon arrival.
