Cycnodes Taiwan Red Blooming Size

Meet Cycnodes Taiwan Red—a striking Catasetinae hybrid famed for its rich, wine-red petals and dramatic, pendulous sprays of blooms. Each flower has a sculpted, glossy finish that photographs beautifully, making this plant a showstopper for displays, collections, and gifting.

Why you’ll love it

• Statement colour: Deep, saturated reds with a glossy sheen.

• Showy spikes: Multiple flowers on arching sprays for maximum impact.

• Collector favourite: Robust growth and rewarding bloom performance.

• Great for photos & décor: Bold contrast against green foliage.

Care (easy, practical)

• Light: Bright, filtered light; gentle morning sun is ideal. Leaves should stay medium-green, not dark.

• Water: During active growth (with leaves), water thoroughly and let the mix approach dryness between waterings. Reduce water gradually as leaves yellow and drop; keep canes dry in full dormancy until new roots are a few cm long.

• Humidity & Air: Prefers moderate humidity with steady air movement.

• Fertiliser: “Weakly, weekly” during active growth; pause feeding in dormancy.

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

Quick tips for success

• Give plenty of light and airflow for firm canes and strong spikes.

• Avoid overwatering in the rest period—this is the key to long-term success with Catasetinae.
