Mericlone.

Plants Available: Growing in 4” pots. Plants are available in three sizes. Examples of each size are pictured. Size 2 and Size 3 options may be blooming size or mature, previously bloomed.

Orchid Care: Grow bright and warm/hot in high humidity. Plants seem to thrive in the hot and humid FL summer—especially when mounted on tree fern or driftwood. Water heavily when plants are actively growing. Mounted plants may need daily watering in the summer. In cooler months, protect from temperatures below 55F.

Note: As for bifoliate Cattleya species in general,C. violacea should only be repotted or divided during a particular part of its growth cycle. When determining whether to repot or mount, look for new growth and root development. Plants disturbed at the wrong time—i.e. after the new growth has established and/or roots are not in active growth—may decline.
