Cattleya warscewiczii f. coerulea

A magnificent color form of this iconic species native to the mountain forests of South America, with the coerulea designation representing a highly select and distinctive find for collectors.

• 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.
