Cattleya maxima f. coerulea 'Gigi' x 'Angelo' x f. coerulea 'Gigi'
A floriferous coerulea cross of Cattleya maxima f. coerulea clones 'Gigi' × 'Angelo' × f. coerulea 'Gigi', combining the finest blue-lavender pigmentation of the species. It produces tall, multi-flowered spikes with large, well-shaped blooms and a strong, sweet fragrance.
- Light: Bright light with 30–40% shade cloth; high light promotes strong pseudobulb development and reliable blooming.
- Temperature: 55–82°F (13–28°C). Warm to intermediate grower; tolerates brief cool nights which help trigger blooming.
- Humidity: 50–70%; good air movement is essential to prevent fungal issues on the large flowers.
- Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth; allow the mix to dry slightly between waterings. Enforce a drier rest in winter.
Additional Notes
Best grown in medium-grade bark or mounted on cork. Clay or slatted wooden baskets recommended. Ships bare root, well-established (45cm). Grown at Ecuagenera, Ecuador.
