Cattleya Alliance Rlc Siam White 'The best'
cancel Sold out
Rlc. Siam White 'The Best' is a named clone in the Cattleya alliance, producing large, white flowers with broad, overlapping petals and a full, rounded lip. The lip often carries a subtle hint of yellow in the throat, enhancing the contrast against the pristine white segments. Flowers are typically long-lasting and held on upright inflorescences emerging from mature pseudobulbs. This clone is well-suited to growers who can provide bright light and a regular wet-dry cycle.
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, filtered light. A few hours of gentle morning sun can promote flowering.
- Water: Water thoroughly once the medium has nearly dried. Avoid prolonged wet conditions.
- Humidity: Maintain 50–70% humidity with good airflow to prevent fungal issues.
- Media: Medium-grade orchid bark or a well-drained Cattleya-specific mix.
- Temperature: Grows well in intermediate to warm conditions, typically 15–28 °C.
- Fertiliser: Apply diluted orchid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during dormancy.
- Repotting: Repot every 2 years or when the media breaks down, ideally just as new root growth begins.
