Cattleya harpophylla
A striking species native to the cloud forests of South America, producing short, densely clustered inflorescences that contrast beautifully against its distinctive foliage. The slender, reed-like pseudobulbs support narrow leaves, giving rise to star-shaped, vibrant flowers with a delicately crisped lip that makes it a standout choice for any collector.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can burn the narrow leaves.
- Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); an intermediate to warm grower that thrives under stable, warm conditions.
- Humidity: 60–80%; high ambient humidity encourages strong pseudobulb growth and optimal health.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings, ensuring sharp drainage so the roots never remain waterlogged.
Additional Notes
This medium-sized plant produces moderately sized, long-lasting blossoms that bring an exotic flair to your growing space. 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.
