Meet Cycnodes ‘Jumbo Micky’—a dramatic Catasetinae hybrid prized for its glowing orange petals and deep red, lacquered lip that pops in any display. Flowers are thick, glossy, and wonderfully photogenic; spikes carry many blooms for a lush, high-impact look on benches and windowsills alike.
Why you’ll love it
-
Vivid colour palette: sunset orange + ruby red with a golden column
-
High impact display: multiple blooms per spike for instant drama
-
Vigorous grower: reliable Catasetinae performance
-
Perfect for photos & gifting: bold, modern look
Care (simple & practical)
-
Light: Bright, filtered light; gentle morning sun encourages sturdy growth.
-
Water: In active growth (with leaves), water thoroughly and let the mix approach dryness between waterings. As leaves yellow and drop, reduce watering and keep dry during dormancy until new roots are a few cm long.
-
Fertiliser: Feed weakly, weekly in growth; pause during the rest period.
-
Air & Humidity: Moderate humidity with steady airflow.
-
Potting Mix: 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.

Quick tips for success
-
Resume heavier watering only when new roots appear.

Bright light + airflow = sturdier canes and strong spikes.
-
Keep the plant dry in dormancy for best performance next season.
