Rhyncholaeliocattleya Talan Lambert
A fragrant hybrid of Rlc. Waianae Leopard × C. tenebrosa, this warm-growing Cattleya alliance orchid produces one to two blooms per spike with broad, heavily textured petals and sepals bearing a distinctive spotted-to-striped pattern inherited from C. tenebrosa. The compact, ruffled lip provides a vivid contrast to the richly patterned floral segments.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun to protect the broad 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. As with most seedling-grown hybrids, floral expression and patterning may vary between individual plants.
