💚 Care Instructions

• Temperature: Maintain an ideal range of 70–85°F (21–29°C) during the day, with a crucial drop to around 55–65°F (13–18°C) at night to encourage blooming.
• Potting Medium: Utilize a coarse, well-draining mix such as fir bark, charcoal, or coconut husk. Repot every two to three years, or sooner if the medium begins to break down.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) every 2-4 weeks during active growth in spring and summer. Reduce or stop feeding during the winter dormancy period.

☀️ Light & Water Needs

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. An east-facing window is ideal; for south or west-facing windows, use sheer curtains to diffuse intense midday sun. Healthy medium green leaves indicate optimal light; dark green suggests too little, while red-tinged or yellow leaves mean too much sun.
• Watering: Allow the potting medium to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Water thoroughly with room-temperature or lukewarm water approximately once a week, ensuring excellent drainage. Adjust frequency to more in summer and less in winter.
• Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity (ideally 50% to 80%). Achieve this with a humidity tray (pebbles and water) or a room humidifier. Crucially, ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

📏 Size & Dimensions

• Pot Size: This Cattleya orchid is supplied in a 3.5 inch pot.
