Catasetum Jumbo Puff Matured Flowering Size Plant (Fragrant)

Meet Catasetum ‘Jumbo Puff’—a standout hybrid famous for its full, sculpted petals and rich golden colour that glows in photos and in person. Spikes carry multiple blooms for a lush, high-impact display that turns heads on benches and windowsills alike.

Why you’ll love it

• Bold colour: saturated, glossy sun-gold blooms with a lacquered finish

• Full, rounded form for that classic “puffed” look

• Multiple flowers per spike = instant, showy display

• Fast, robust grower typical of the Catasetinae group

Care (simple & practical)

• Light: Bright, filtered light; a little gentle morning sun helps build strong canes and spikes.

• Water: When in active growth (with leaves), water thoroughly and let the mix approach dryness between waterings. As leaves yellow and drop, reduce water and keep dry in dormancy until new roots are a few cm long.

• Feeding: “Weakly, weekly” during growth; pause during the dry rest.

• Air & Humidity: Likes steady airflow with moderate humidity.

• Potting Mix: Use a fast-draining medium—chunky bark/charcoal/perlite or fresh sphagnum in a ventilated pot/basket. Repot at the start of new growth to protect tender roots.

What you’ll receive

• 1 healthy Catasetum ‘Jumbo Puff’ (budding/blooming size, nursery-grown).

• Plants are carefully packed for safe shipping. Natural variation in plant size and flower shade is expected. Unless listed as “spiking/blooming,” plants may ship out of bloom.

Quick tips for success

• Resume heavy watering only when new roots appear.

• Bright light + airflow = sturdier canes and stronger spikes.

• During the rest period, dryness is key for next season’s performance.
