Cattleya trianae f. semialba

A magnificent color form of this iconic species native to the mountain forests of South America, highly desired for its pristine and refined floral presentation. This robust, upright epiphyte features strong, club-shaped pseudobulbs that yield a spectacular display of large, heavily textured flowers boasting pristine white segments contrasting with a richly colored lip.

• Light: Bright indirect light or filtered sunlight with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun to safeguard the 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.

Additional Notes

Growing this large-flowered variety in a coarse, fast-draining bark mix ensures optimal root aeration to maximize its impressive plant size and bloom potential. Ships bare root, well established, and ready to be rehydrated at an intermediate temperature and promptly potted upon receipt.
