A fragrant hybrid of Rlc. Galapagos Sunset × Rlc. Lawless Romeo, this warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid carries two blooms per spike with exceptionally broad, flat petals and a wide, ruffled lip featuring a vivid yellow throat and delicately fringed edges. The flowers display outstanding substance and a classic bifoliate Cattleya form.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the broad, flat 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 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.
