Cattleya Sapphirata f. coerulea

A magnificent hybrid resulting from the cross between the legendary C. Canhamiana f. coerulea and the elegant C. maxima f. coerulea, combining elite lineages to achieve striking exhibition potential. This robust, upright epiphyte exhibits strong vegetative growth and produces large, beautifully textured flowers on sturdy stems that display incredible refinement and allure.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the compact foliage.
• Temperature: 59–79°F (15–26°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 large-flowered orchid performs exceptionally well when grown in a coarse, fast-draining bark mix to accommodate its mid-to-large plant size. It ships bare root, well established, and should be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature prior to potting upon arrival.
