Clowesetum Jumbo Waltz Blooming Size

Meet Clowesetum ‘Jumbo Waltz’—a showstopper that combines the best of Clowesia and Catasetum. Each flower features glossy, wine-red throats, cream-white frills, and striking leopard spotting on the petals and sepals. Spikes carry multiple blooms for a full, attention-grabbing display that photographs beautifully and lights up any collection.

Why you’ll love it

• High-impact colour: Rich burgundy with sharp, creamy ruffles

• Pattern perfection: Distinct leopard spotting on every bloom

• Showy sprays: Multiple flowers open together for maximum effect

• Collector friendly: Fast, robust grower within the Catasetinae group

Care (simple & practical)

• Light: Bright, filtered light; a few hours of gentle morning sun is ideal.

• Water: In active growth (with leaves), water thoroughly and let the medium approach dryness between waterings. As leaves yellow and drop, reduce water and keep the plant dry during the rest period until new roots are a few cm long.

• Air & Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity with good airflow.

• Fertiliser: Feed “weakly, weekly” in active growth; pause in dormancy.

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

What you’ll receive

• 1 healthy Clowesetum ‘Jumbo Waltz’ plant (budding/blooming size, nursery-grown).

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

Quick Success Tips

• Wait to resume heavy watering until you see new roots at the base of fresh growth.

• Bright light + airflow = sturdy canes and strong spikes.

• Avoid wet feet during the rest period—dryness is key for long-term vigor.
