Cattleya Alliance Blc. Haadyai 'Delight'
cancel Sold out
Brassolaeliocattleya Haadyai 'Delight' is a well-regarded hybrid in the Cattleya alliance, noted for its full, rounded flowers of clear yellow colour. The blooms are medium to large in size, with a waxy texture and broad petals that give them an attractive, balanced form. Flowers are long lasting and often lightly fragrant, making this cultivar a popular choice for both hobbyists and collectors. Like many Blc. orchids, it carries a combination of Cattleya, Laelia, and Brassavola ancestry, blending traits of vigour, flower substance, and showy display.
Care Tips
- Light: Requires bright, filtered light; some direct morning sun enhances growth and flowering.
- Water: Water well during active growth, allowing the medium to dry slightly before watering again; reduce frequency after flowering until new growth emerges.
- Media: Best grown in coarse orchid bark or a similar open, free-draining orchid substrate.
- Fertiliser: Apply a balanced orchid fertiliser regularly in the growing season, reducing during slower growth periods.
- Temperature: Suited to intermediate to warm conditions; protect from cold draughts and frost.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, or once the medium breaks down, orienting new growths towards fresh space in the pot.
