Rlc. Shinaphat Diamond 'Gold Wings' is a named clone within the Cattleya alliance, recognised for its large, golden-yellow flowers with broad petals and a ruffled lip often touched with orange or deeper yellow in the throat. The flowers are typically held on upright inflorescences from robust pseudobulbs and are long-lasting under suitable conditions. This hybrid performs well in warm, bright environments with good air movement and a regular wet-dry cycle.
Care Tips:
Light: Requires bright, indirect light. Some gentle morning sun can be beneficial.
Water: Water thoroughly once the medium has nearly dried out. Avoid soggy conditions.
Humidity: Prefers 50–70% humidity with consistent airflow to prevent fungal issues.
Media: Medium-grade bark or a Cattleya-specific orchid mix with good drainage.
Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions, 16–28 °C.
Fertiliser: Apply diluted orchid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during growth. Reduce in cooler months.
Repotting: Repot every 2 years or when media begins to degrade. Best done when new roots are emerging.
