Cattleya intermedia
A highly prized, bifoliate species native to the coastal forests of South America, adapting to a robust sympodial growth habit with slender, cylindrical pseudobulbs. It produces short, terminal inflorescences that present several long-lasting, beautifully textured flowers featuring a deeply saturated, trilobed lip that makes it an essential showpiece for orchid enthusiasts.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; protect the foliage from harsh, direct midday sun.
- Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); an intermediate to warm grower that thrives in stable environments.
- Humidity: 60–80%; high ambient humidity supports robust pseudobulb growth and healthy development.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings, ensuring excellent drainage.
Additional Notes
This small to medium-sized plant yields beautifully proportioned, mid-sized blossoms that adapt seamlessly to mounted or potted setups. It ships bare root and should be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted into a loose, well-draining orchid mix upon arrival.
