Rhyncholaeliocattleya Hsinying Joy 'Chief Wilson'

This showy Cattleya-alliance hybrid offers broad, ruffled blooms with a richly contrasting lip. Its expressive flower form creates a bold display, with some variation in bloom appearance adding character to each flowering.

• Light: Bright, filtered light with gentle morning sun. Place near an east-facing window or in a lightly shaded greenhouse, protected from harsh midday sun.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing; 60–85°F (16–29°C), with slightly cooler nights.
• Humidity: Maintain 50–70% humidity with steady, gentle air circulation.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the potting mix dry nearly completely before watering again. Use a coarse, freely draining orchid bark mix. Increase watering during active growth and reduce slightly when growth slows.

Additional Notes:

Flowers may display golden-yellow tones with peach to orange-red shading, paired with a deep burgundy-magenta lip. Color intensity, markings, and flower shape can vary somewhat; an exact match to a particular bloom is not guaranteed. This sympodial orchid develops successive pseudobulbs; leave room for new growth and repot as fresh roots emerge.
