Cattleya bradei
A distinctive species from the rocky outcroppings and montane regions of South America, producing compact, clustered pseudobulbs with a sturdy lithophytic growth habit. The star-shaped blooms emerge in small, upright clusters that rise elegantly above the stiff foliage, creating an eye-catching and highly desirable display for any collection.
- Light: Bright indirect light with high-percentage shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the compact foliage.
- Temperature: 52–79°F (11–26°C); an intermediate to warm grower that benefits from a distinct night-time drop in temperature.
- Humidity: 60–75%; consistent humidity and steady air movement encourage healthy root development and overall vigor.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the fast-draining mix to dry quickly between applications; significantly reduce watering during winter.
Additional Notes
Best cultivated on a cork mount or in a small container filled with a coarse, inorganic gravel mix. The compact plant remains under 4 inches tall with flowers measuring roughly 0.8 inches (2 cm) in diameter. Ships bare root, well established, and ready to be rehydrated and potted or mounted immediately upon arrival.
