Rhyncholaeliocattleya Ximenita Vintimilla

A floriferous and fragrant hybrid of Rlc. Hawaiian Prominence × C. Chamberlainiana (1881), this intermediate-to-warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid produces clusters of four or more blooms per spike with narrow, reflexed petals and a compact tubular lip with a deeply ruffled, dark front lobe. The multi-flowered habit and good substance make it a standout in any collection.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the narrow petals.
• Temperature: 60–82°F (16–28°C); an intermediate-to-warm grower that adapts well to a range of conditions with a moderate night drop to encourage blooming.
• Humidity: 60–80%; maintain consistent humidity with a tray or misting, especially during dry seasons.
• Watering: Water thoroughly 1–2 times per week and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; good air circulation around the roots is essential.

Additional Notes

Thrives in a coarse bark mix or unglazed clay pot that promotes rapid drying between waterings. Ships bare root and well-established — roots are healthy and ready to adapt quickly to your growing conditions.
