Cattleya warneri (selec x supernova)

An exceptional sibling cross utilizing select and high-quality parental strains of this famous species native to the mountain forests of South America, resulting in a highly desirable and dramatic floral presentation. This robust, upright epiphyte features strong, club-shaped pseudobulbs that produce a spectacular display of large, heavily textured flowers on short, sturdy inflorescences.

• Light: Bright indirect light or filtered sunlight with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to safeguard the clean foliage.
• Temperature: 59–86°F (15–30°C); an adaptable intermediate grower that benefits from a slight night drop to mimic its native environment.
• Humidity: 60–80%; maintaining consistent atmospheric moisture supports uniform growth and robust new root development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when actively growing and allow the potting medium to dry almost completely before repeating.
