Cattleya Carmen
An outstanding classical hybrid bred from the prominent pairing of C. lueddemanniana and C. warscewiczii. It exhibits a robust, upright, unifoliate growth habit with thick, leathery leaves topping stout pseudobulbs, producing grand, heavily textured flowers with wide-spreading segments and an expansive, richly patterned lip.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; strong, filtered light is essential to encourage consistent seasonal blooming.
- Temperature: 60–86°F (16–30°C); an adaptable intermediate to warm grower that fits standard greenhouse or indoor conditions.
- Humidity: 60–80%; excellent air movement combined with stable humidity levels supports vigorous foliage and pseudobulb growth.
- Watering: Water thoroughly, letting the coarse medium completely dry out between waterings; scale back moisture during the winter.
Additional Notes
Excellent for cultivation in a coarse, chunky bark mix inside a well-ventilated clay pot or mounted securely on a durable hardwood plaque. This medium-to-large sized plant produces impressive flowers reaching up to 4–5 inches (10–12 cm) across, shipping bare root and ready to be rehydrated and potted upon arrival.
