Cattleya quadricolor x self

A self-pollinated cross of one of Colombia's most coveted Cattleya species, producing flowers of exceptional purity — pristine white petals and sepals contrasting with a dramatic lip in rich orange and deep violet-purple, delivering both elegance and bold color in a single bloom.

• Light: Bright indirect to moderate direct light. An east or south-facing window with filtered sun is ideal. Good light is essential to encourage blooming.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing. Prefers 60–85°F (15–29°C) with a slight drop at night to stimulate flowering.
• Humidity: 50–70%. Provide good air circulation along with humidity to prevent fungal issues while keeping the plant comfortable.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the potting medium to dry almost completely before watering again. Cattleyas dislike standing in moisture — use a fast-draining bark or mixed media.

Additional Notes:

Flowers are large and showy with broad, pristine white petals and ruffled sepals. The lip is boldly marked with a golden-orange center transitioning to deep violet-purple margins, creating a striking multicolored display. Self-pollinated seedlings from this species may express slight variation in lip coloration, making each plant a unique specimen. Fragrant and long-lasting blooms.
