Rhyncholaeliocattleya Eugene Banziger (Big)

This is a stunning intergeneric hybrid resulting from the cross of Rlc. Color Magic and Rlc. Golden Triumph-destiny, combining the rich color intensity of its parents with impressive, large-format blooms that command attention in any collection.

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal — a south- or east-facing window with filtered sun, or a shaded greenhouse environment. Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions, with daytime temperatures of 70–85°F (21–29°C) and nighttime lows of 58–65°F (14–18°C). A 10–15°F (5–8°C) drop at night encourages blooming.
• Humidity: Maintain 50–70% relative humidity. Use a humidity tray or room humidifier if growing indoors.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the potting medium approaches dryness, typically every 5–7 days. Ensure excellent drainage and never allow roots to sit in standing water.

Additional Notes:

Flowers are large and showy, displaying the bold color palette inherited from Rlc. Color Magic and the golden warmth of Rlc. Golden Triumph-destiny. Blooms are long-lasting and highly fragrant. This is a mature, blooming-size plant well suited for experienced collectors seeking statement pieces.
