Cattleya maxima f. coerulea 'Hector' x 'Gigi'

Cattleya maxima f. coerulea 'Hector' x 'Gigi'

A select and exceptional sibling cross of two premier blue color forms of this magnificent species native to Ecuador, featuring a robust and upright growth habit. This pairing produces strong, erect inflorescences from mature pseudobulbs, presenting an elegant, crowded canopy of large, fragrant blossoms that bring striking sophistication to any collection.

  • Light: Bright indirect light with a 40–50% shade cloth; protect the foliage from scorching direct sun.
  • 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%; consistent humidity combined with gentle air movement prevents stagnant moisture on the leaves.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth and allow the medium to dry almost completely between applications.

Additional Notes

Potting in a coarse 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.
