Cattleya hoehnei

A charming rupicolous species from the mountainous regions of South America, developing a compact, upright sympodial growth habit. Its slender, elongated pseudobulbs produce an erect, elongated inflorescence that displays a striking cluster of star-shaped, brightly textured blossoms with delicately pointed segments.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the compact foliage.
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); an intermediate to warm grower that thrives in stable environments.
• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity encourages vigorous growth and prolific flowering.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; never allow the roots to remain waterlogged.

Additional Notes

This small to medium-sized plant produces moderately sized, long-lasting blossoms that bring an exotic flair to your growing space. It ships bare root and should be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted into a loose, well-draining orchid mix upon arrival.
