Encyclia Lulu's Heart

A compelling interspecific cross of E. alboxanthina × E. cordigera, combining the airy, branching racemes and narrow reflexed sepals of one parent with the bold, prominently veined trilobed lip and vivid orange callo of the other. The result is a graceful, freely blooming Encyclia with striking floral contrast.

• Light: 50–70% shade cloth; bright indirect light with some morning sun. Good light promotes strong pseudobulb development and reliable blooming.
• Temperature: 58–85°F (14–29°C) — Intermediate to Warm grower. Tolerates a wide range; a slight nighttime drop encourages blooming.
• Humidity: 50–70%; good air circulation is essential. Avoid stagnant conditions around the pseudobulbs.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the medium to dry slightly before watering again. Encyclia are tolerant of brief dry periods once established.

Additional Notes

Best grown in medium bark mix in a plastic or clay pot with excellent drainage. Ships bare root and well-established, with a healthy root system ready to settle into its new home.
