  • Light Requirements: Place this hybrid in a well-lit location with filtered sunlight. Bright, indirect light is ideal to encourage healthy growth and blooming.
  • Temperature and Humidity: Keep your Cattleya hybrid in a warm and humid environment. Temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) during the day and a slight drop at night are recommended.
  • Watering: Allow the potting medium to dry slightly between watering sessions. Avoid overwatering, as this orchid prefers a moderate level of moisture.
  • Potting Medium: Use a well-draining orchid mix to prevent waterlogging and ensure proper aeration for the roots.
  • Fertilization: Feed your orchid with a balanced, water-soluble orchid fertilizer during the growing season. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper dilution and frequency.
  • Repotting: As this hybrid is currently in a 4.5" clay pot, repotting should be considered once every 2 to 3 years or when the potting medium starts to break down. Repot after flowering to allow the orchid to recover more efficiently.
  • Flower Spike Care: Once the flower spike emerges, provide extra support if needed to prevent breakage. Gently stake the spike to keep the blooms upright and showcase their beauty.

As this hybrid was grown from seed, each individual plant will exhibit its unique characteristics, making it a delightful surprise for any orchid enthusiast. While the offspring may not precisely inherit the coerulea or alba traits, anticipate exquisite splashes of colors, and potentially rare spots, lending an unusual pink hue to these remarkable blooms.
