Cattleya Cuyabeno is an exceptional hybrid resulting from the cross between Cattleya Dominiana (1859) and Cattleya violacea. This orchid combines the genetics of two historic species, creating a plant with desirable characteristics in both its structure and its flowers.
- Light: Provide bright, indirect light with some morning sun. East or west-facing windows with filtered light work well. Avoid harsh midday sunlight which can damage the leaves.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-24Ā°C (65-75Ā°F) during the day with a slight nighttime drop of 3-5Ā°C (5-10Ā°F) to encourage blooming.
- Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60-80%. Use humidity trays, room humidifiers, or group with other orchids to maintain adequate moisture levels.
- Watering: Keep consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the growing medium begins to dry slightly. Use lukewarm, filtered water and ensure excellent drainage.
Additional Notes:
The flowers of Cattleya Cuyabeno are known for their impressive size and fragrance. They typically display a range of colors from pink to lavender, with a distinctive yellow or white lip, inheriting the beauty of their parents.
