Rhyncholaeliocattleya Chia Lin New City
A fragrant hybrid of Rlc. Oconee × Rlc. Maitland, this warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid produces multiple large blooms per spike with broad, velvety petals and sepals bearing intensely ruffled, fringed edges across every floral segment. The wide, dramatically frilled lip with a richly striped orange throat delivers an exceptional visual impact that has made Rlc. Chia Lin one of the most celebrated dark Cattleya hybrids in cultivation.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the broad, velvety petals.
- Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); a warm grower that benefits from a 10°F (5°C) night drop to encourage blooming.
- Humidity: 60–80%; maintain consistent humidity with a tray or misting, especially during dry seasons.
- Watering: Water thoroughly 1–2 times per week and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; good air circulation around the roots is essential.
Additional Notes
Thrives in a coarse bark mix or unglazed clay pot that promotes rapid drying between waterings. Ships bare root and well-established — roots are healthy and ready to adapt quickly to your growing conditions.
