Cattlianthe Chloris f. coerulea

An exceptional coerulea hybrid of Guarianthe bowringiana coerulea and Cattleya maxima coerulea, bearing clusters of soft lavender-blue flowers with a richly veined violet lip — a rare and coveted color form in Cattleya alliance breeding.

• Light: Bright, indirect light — a south or east-facing window is ideal. Good light levels are essential for blooming; avoid harsh direct midday sun.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing — 58–68°F (14–20°C) nights, with days up to 85°F (29°C). A slight temperature drop in autumn helps trigger blooming.
• Humidity: Moderate to high humidity of 55–75%. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the medium to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering slightly after flowering to encourage a rest period.

Additional Notes:

Produces robust pseudobulbs with semi-rigid leaves and upright inflorescences bearing multiple long-lasting blooms. The coerulea color form is significantly rarer than the standard variety and highly prized by collectors. A standout addition to any Cattleya alliance collection.
