Rhyncholaeliocattleya Ivan Portilla

A fragrant hybrid of Rlc. Lawless Romeo × L. undulata, producing two or more large Cattleya-type flowers per stem with broad, undulating sepals and petals and a compact trilobed lip with a vivid magenta front lobe — an unusually rare bicolor combination in the Cattleya alliance. It grows as a vigorous plant with stout pseudobulbs and broad, leathery leaves well suited to pot culture.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 30–50% shade cloth; good light levels are essential for reliable blooming.
• Temperature: 65–86°F (18–30°C); a Warm grower with a minimum tolerance around 60°F (16°C).
• Humidity: 50–70%; tolerates moderate humidity with good air circulation.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to dry out between waterings; reduce watering slightly after new growth matures.

Additional Notes

Grow in a well-draining bark mix in a pot sized to the root system. Bright light and a slight temperature drop at night encourage blooming. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
