Cattleya maxima f. coerulea 'Angelo' x 'Hector'
A majestic sibling cross of two select and highly prized blue color forms of this renowned epiphytic species native to Ecuador, featuring a robust and upright growth habit. This premier pairing produces strong, erect inflorescences from mature pseudobulbs, bearing an elegant and crowded canopy of large blossoms that bring striking sophistication to any orchid collection.
- Light: Bright indirect light or filtered morning sun with a 40–50% shade cloth to protect the foliage from scorching.
- Temperature: 59–86°F (15–30°C); a versatile intermediate to warm grower that thrives with a distinct day-to-night drop.
- Humidity: 60–80%; high humidity combined with continuous, gentle air movement prevents stagnant moisture on the leaves.
- Watering: Water heavily during active growth and allow the medium to dry almost completely between applications; reduce frequency during winter rest.
Additional Notes
Potting in a coarse, well-draining bark mixture or mounting on a large cork plaque perfectly accommodates its large growth habit and showy 5-inch (12.5 cm) flowers. Your plant ships bare root and should be thoroughly rehydrated at an intermediate temperature before being potted or mounted upon arrival.
