A distinctive hybrid of Lyc. Balliae and Lyc. Reina Del Cisne, featuring sculptural, triangular blooms with softly shaded pink sepals and a richly patterned lip. Its contrasting markings give each flower an elegant focal point.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light with protection from strong midday sun. An east-facing window or shaded greenhouse position is ideal.
-
Temperature: Cool to intermediate-growing; aim for 65–78°F (18–26°C) during the day and 50–60°F (10–16°C) at night. Protect from prolonged heat.
-
Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with gentle air circulation to keep developing growth healthy.
-
Watering: Keep the potting mix evenly moist during active growth, allowing it to approach dryness between waterings without becoming completely dry. Reduce watering as growth slows, and never leave the pot standing in water.
Additional Notes:
Pleated green leaves complement the upright flowers. Use an airy, moisture-retentive orchid mix and repot when new roots begin to emerge, taking care not to damage tender new growth. Flower color and markings may vary between individual plants.
