Brassocattleya Ivan Portilla 'Camila'

This is a captivating hybrid orchid between L. purpurata purple x B. cucullata that combines the beauty of Laelia and Brassavola genetics. This exceptional cross showcases the distinctive characteristics that make it a memorable and highly prized specimen.

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light with some morning sun. East or west-facing windows with filtered light work well. Avoid harsh midday sunlight.
  • Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F) during the day with a slight nighttime drop of 3-5°C (5-10°F) to encourage blooming.
  • Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity levels of 50-70%. Use humidity trays, room humidifiers, or group with other orchids to maintain adequate moisture.
  • Watering: Keep consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the growing medium begins to dry slightly. Use lukewarm, filtered water and ensure excellent drainage.

Additional Notes:

The complex parentage combining Laelia purpurata and Brassavola cucullata genetics creates distinctive flowers with exceptional beauty and form, making this 'Camila' cultivar particularly striking and memorable.
