Rhyncholaeliocattleya Ann Cleo 'stars And Stripes'

A hybrid of C. Wayndora × Rlc. Toshie Aoki, this warm-growing exhibition Cattleya produces large, full-formed flowers with broad, rounded petals and a dramatically ruffled, flared lip with a bright yellow throat. The blooms are carried two per spike and deliver a strong, classic Cattleya fragrance.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the broad, delicate petals.
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); a warm grower that benefits from a 10°F (5°C) night drop to initiate 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; never allow roots to sit in standing water.
