Care Instructions

To ensure a healthy and blooming Cattleya orchid, follow these essential care tips:

• Humidity: Maintain a moderate to high humidity level, ideally between 50% and 80%. You can use a humidity tray with pebbles and water or a room humidifier. Good air circulation is vital to prevent fungal diseases.
• Temperature: The ideal range is 7085F (2129C) during the day and a drop to around 5565F (1318C) at night. This day/night temperature fluctuation helps initiate blooming.
• Potting Medium: Use a coarse, well-draining medium such as fir bark, charcoal, or coconut husk. Repot every two to three years or when the medium starts breaking down.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) every 2-4 weeks during active growth (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the winter dormancy period.
