✨ Key Features

• Dramatic Splash-Petal Contrast: Features broad, golden yellow petals and sepals. The tips of the two main lateral petals are heavily flushed or "splashed" with a rich crimson-red pattern that perfectly mirrors the lip.

• Exquisite Ruffled Trumpet Lip: A giant, intensely ruffled trumpet lip dominates the center of the blossom, presenting a bright yellow throat that bursts into a velvety, blood-red fringe along its scalloped border.

• Sweet Tropical Fragrance: Inheriting elite traits from its Rhyncholaelia digbyana ancestry, it emits a powerful, sweet, citrus-like scent that peaks in intensity during bright morning hours.

• Heavy, Waxy Flower Substance: The petals feature a thick, dense structural texture. This heavy substance helps individual blossoms remain fresh, crisp, and pristine for 3 to 4 weeks.

🌿 Care Guide

Cattleya Paithoon Fancy thrives in bright environments and prefers a distinct wet-to-dry rhythm for its root system:

• ☀️ Light: Provide high, bright filtered sunlight (East or West windows, or under a 30% shade net outdoors). Use the foliage as a guide: Apple green means perfect light; dark green means too little light (won't bloom); yellowish/red tints mean too much sun.

• 💧 Watering (The "Soak and Dry" Method): Water the orchid thoroughly early in the morning, then allow the medium to dry out completely before watering again. Typically requires water 1–2 times a week. Never let the roots sit in stagnant drainage water to prevent fatal root rot.

• 🌡️ Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm intermediate conditions with daytime temperatures between 21°C to 35°C. A natural night drop of 5°C to 8°C encourages the plant to initiate flower spikes. Maintain 50% to 70% humidity alongside constant, gentle air circulation to discourage fungal diseases.
