Care basics (quick guide)
• Light: Bright, filtered light (strong morning or late-afternoon sun is ideal; avoid harsh midday rays).
• Water: Water thoroughly, then let the medium approach dry before the next watering. Good drainage is essential.
• Media & potting: Open, airy mix such as medium bark/coco chips with a bit of charcoal. Repot only when the mix breaks down or the plant outgrows the pot.
• Fertilizer: Balanced orchid feed at ¼–½ strength during active growth. Flush with plain water periodically.
• Air movement: Keep gentle airflow around leaves to prevent stagnation.
Placement ideas
Perfect for bright windows, shaded terraces, balconies with dappled sun, or under LED grow lights. Pairs beautifully with other Cattleyas in a feature corner or on a plant rack.
Gifting/collectors
A standout choice for orchid lovers who appreciate bold colour and fragrance. Excellent as a “feature bloom” in any collection.
