Rhyncholaeliocattleya Arcadio Arosemena

A floriferous hybrid of Rlc. Durigan × Rlc. Waianae Leopard, this warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid produces multiple blooms per spike with narrow, elegantly reflexed sepals and petals bearing a distinctive spotted texture. The compact tubular lip adds a striking contrast to the delicate, star-shaped floral arrangement.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the thin-textured petals.
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); a warm grower that benefits from a slight 10°F (5°C) night drop to encourage blooming.
• Humidity: 60–80%; maintain consistent moisture around the roots with a humidity tray or regular misting in dry environments.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; good air movement around the roots is essential.

Additional Notes
