South American Cattleya species, native to Venezuela and Brazil. Typically blooms in clusters of 3 or more fragrant flowers per newly matured growth in late summer/early fall.

Grown from seed.

Plants Available: The plant available is the plant pictured—a large, mature specimen in a 6” pot. The blooms pictured are the last remaining pair of flowers from the plant’s most recent blooming period, which produced flowers from five of the plant’s new growths.

Orchid Care: May be grown potted, in basket, or mounted. Provide moderate to high humidity and strong air circulation. If grown potted, ceramic or clay pots with many holes are recommended, so as to facilitate air circulation to the roots. Plants should be watered generously during active growth (typically spring and summer), and less often during the cooler months. Whatever the time of year, the roots of the plant and/or substrate must be allowed to dry out between watering.
