🌸 Flower Specialties

• True Alba Mutation: Completely lacks purple pigmentation, creating a sharp visual contrast between crisp apple-green petals and a broad, pure-white lip.

• Intense Sweet Fragrance: Emits a powerful, sweet honey-fruity perfume that intensifies in bright morning sunlight.

• Waxy & Long-Lasting: Thick, waxy petals allow individual blossoms to stay fresh on the plant for 2 to 3 months.

• Seasonal Bloom Spikes: Flowers from late winter through spring, producing sturdy spikes holding 3 to 10 long-lasting blooms.

🌿Care Guide

• Light: Thrives in bright, filtered sunlight (Cattley-level light). Target healthy, light-green foliage.

• Watering: Water heavily during active summer growth, allowing the medium to dry out between waterings like a Cattleya; avoid stagnant water.

• Winter Rest Period: Reduce watering in late autumn and winter to give the plant a slight dry rest, which reliably triggers spring flower spikes.

• Temperature: Loves intermediate to warm conditions (24°C–30°C daytime) and tolerates cooler dips very well.
