Laeliocattleya Caligula

A striking classic primary hybrid crossing C. percivaliana with L. anceps, producing upright, slender pseudobulbs with semi-rigid leaves. The long, arching inflorescences hold elegantly proportioned flowers featuring a richly colored, velvet-textured lip that instantly commands attention on any retail display.

• Light: Bright indirect light to filtered morning sun; high light levels are essential to encourage strong flowering and robust growths.
• Temperature: 55–85°F (13–29°C); an exceptionally temperature-tolerant intermediate grower that adapts beautifully to home environments.
• Humidity: 50–70%; moderate to high ambient humidity paired with continuous air movement ensures healthy root and foliage development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the potting medium approaches dryness, allowing the substrate to drain quickly and dry slightly between applications.

Additional Notes

This medium-statured plant produces tall, graceful spikes with long-lasting, beautifully structured blooms. Ships bare root, well established, and requires a gentle rehydration at an intermediate temperature before being potted into a coarse, well-draining bark mix upon arrival.
