Cattleya Luciana C

A primary hybrid between C. luteola and C. warscewiczii, combining the compact, free-flowering habit of the former with the large, imposing flower size and ruffled lip of the latter. The result is a vigorous and showy Cattleya well suited for warm-growing conditions, offering exceptional ornamental value in a manageable plant size.

• Light: Bright indirect light; 40–50% shade cloth. Tolerates morning sun to promote flowering.
• Temperature: Warm grower. Daytime 70–85°F (21–29°C), nights 60–68°F (15–20°C).
• Humidity: 60–80% relative humidity with good air circulation.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to dry slightly between waterings; reduce slightly during cooler months.

Additional Notes

Grow in well-draining pots or baskets with coarse bark. Repot every 2–3 years when the mix breaks down. Fertilize with a balanced formula every two weeks during active growth; reduce during rest.
