Description

Cattleya skinneri ‘Heiti Jacobs’ is a natural hybrid between Cattleya x Guatemalensis. This orchid needs a fair amount of bright indirect light and humidity. Direct sunlight will burn the leaves and flowers. Let the plant dry out in between watering, and water less in the Winter. Pot with a very well-draining chunky soil mix like orchid bark, perlite and charcoal or mount on a piece of wood.
