Care Guide
-

Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the potting medium to approach dryness before watering again. Never leave the roots standing in water.
-
Humidity and airflow: Maintain moderate humidity with steady air circulation around the leaves and roots.

Feeding: Apply a balanced orchid fertilizer at a diluted strength during active growth, flushing the potting medium periodically with clean water.
With abundant filtered light, a free-draining potting mix, and consistent care, Rhyncattleanthe El Puyo can become a memorable centerpiece and bring classic Cattleya-style elegance to an orchid collection.
