Selling Size: Approximately 15-25 Centimeters Tall | Net Pot Included | Secure Packing

Cattleya orchids, often known as the 'Queen of Orchids' or 'Corsage Orchids', are celebrated for their stunning, frequently fragrant, and long-lasting blooms. This variety, the CS-075, is supplied by Jiffy Plants and arrives ready for its new home with secure packing ensuring plant health.

Cultivating this beautiful orchid requires attention to detail. It thrives in bright, indirect light, with ideal day temperatures between 21-27 degrees Celsius. Moderate to high humidity (50-80%) is preferred, along with excellent air circulation. Ensure the potting medium dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. This epiphytic plant requires a coarse, well-draining mix, such as fir bark or coconut husk chips, and moderate fertilization during active growth.

FAQ:
Q: What are the ideal light conditions for this Cattleya Orchid?
A: Bright, indirect light is crucial for blooming, requiring more light than Phalaenopsis orchids. Position in an east or west-facing window with dappled light, or use a sheer curtain for protection in south-facing windows, especially during intense summer sun.

Q: How often should I water my Cattleya Orchid?
A: Allow the potting medium to dry out almost completely between waterings. During active growth, water once or twice a week; reduce frequency during cooler, less active periods, always checking the mix before watering.
