Description
This Cattleya needs plenty of light to bloom, it thrives in very bright indirect light and it is adaptable, growing in full sun if it is gradually transitioned there. In the wild this Cattleya sometimes grows in high light intensities and higher up in elevation, and it can survive very cold temperatures in the Winter if kept drier. Watering should be abundant during active growth and greatly reduced in the Winter. It prefers to dry out in between watering. If potting, pot in an orchid bark mix or mount to a piece of cork. The inflorescences hold one to a few flowers and the plant can have many inflorescences.
