Cattleya Care Guide

Cattleya orchids are very sturdy and can take a lot of abuse from those who tend to forget to water. They are also tolerant of several temperature ranges.

  Light

This plant prefers bright indirect light, but can tolerate medium indirect light. Plants grown under ideal light will have apple green leaves and plants which are not getting enough light will have dark green leaves. Learn more about light here 

 Watering

In Coconut Husk medium water retention is more compared to Pine Bark, so plants in Coconut Husk may require once in 2-3 days watering compared to 1-2 days watering in Pine Bark.  Medium may dry faster or slower depending on the weather conditions. So always touch and feel the medium, only when partially dry water the plant.  Learn more about watering here

Fertilizing

 Fertilizing your orchid regularly provides it with the nutrients it needs for optimal health, immunity and vigorous blooming. Weekly once with Bio-20 or Basfoliar 19:19:19 for growth and rooting. Once a month with Basfoliar 13-40-13. Learn more about fertilizing here

A sought-after collector's variety native to Central and South America, Cattleya maxima var. coerulea is prized for its soft, blue-violet hues (derived from the Latin caeruleus for blue). This epiphytic species produces fragrant, strikingly shaped blooms that deliver a regal presence to any collection.

✨ Flower Specialties

  • Unique Color: Soft blue-violet to lavender petals, distinct from the typical pinkish-purple Cattleya maxima.

  • Distinct Lip: Funnel-shaped, highly ruffled lip featuring deep purple veining and a sharp yellow stripe through the throat.

  • High Flower Count: A single spike can display 3 to 15 blooms open simultaneously.

  • Tall Dorsal Sepal: An erect, strictly upright top petal gives the blossom a regal silhouette.

🌿Care Guide

  • Light: Bright, filtered sunlight (east or shaded south window). Aim for light lime-green leaves.

  • Watering: Follow a strict soak-and-dry cycle. Water deeply only after the medium dries completely.

  • Temperature: Warm days (24°C–29°C) and cooler nights (15°C–18°C) to trigger bud formation.

  • Air Flow: Maintain constant, gentle air movement around the roots and foliage to prevent fungal rot.
