Cattleya Patricio Almeida

This is a celebrated hybrid from Ecuagenera, resulting from a cross between Cattleya Cruella and Cattleya Maria Ozzella. This exceptional plant is highly valued for its show-quality blooms and robust growth habit.

• Light: This Cattleya requires bright light to produce its magnificent flowers. 
• Temperature: It is a warm-to-intermediate-growing orchid. It thrives in daytime temperatures between 21-29°C (70-85°F) and a moderate nocturnal temperature drop to 13-18°C (55-65°F). 
• Humidity: Moderate humidity, between 50-70%, is ideal. In drier climates, placing the pot on a tray of pebbles with water can help, but ensure the plant's base is not in contact with the water.
• Watering: Cattleya have pseudobulbs that store water, so they require a distinct wet-to-dry watering cycle. 

Additional notes:

It is admired for its large, beautifully shaped flowers, which tend to have a classic, full appearance. The flowers are usually a beautiful pink or lavender color, often with a darker, exquisitely wavy lip that provides a striking contrast.
