Rhyncholaeliocattleya Taiwan Queen 'Carmela'
A fragrant hybrid of C. Moscombe × Rlc. George Angus, this warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid produces large, full-faced flowers with broad, heavily ruffled petals bearing a rich, densely striped texture and reflexed sepals. The dramatically expanded lip with a vivid orange throat and deeply fringed front lobe gives this cultivar an exceptionally bold and complex floral character.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the broad, ruffled 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.
