Cattleya Jorge Portilla

A striking sympodial hybrid that brings together the exquisite traits of C. Virgen de Guadalupe and C. maxima. This vigorous orchid features strong, upright growth and produces magnificent, highly textured blossoms on terminal inflorescences that immediately draw attention.

• 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 adapts well to stable indoor conditions.
• 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 medium to large-sized plant produces large, long-lasting blossoms and ships bare root, requiring a gentle rehydration at an intermediate temperature before being potted into a loose, well-draining orchid mix upon arrival.
