Schomburgkia undulata alba x self

A rare and prized alba form of Schomburgkia undulata, self-pollinated to preserve its pure, pigment-free coloration. This dramatic species produces tall pseudobulbs and long arching spikes with numerous pristine white to pale cream flowers — a breathtaking alternative to the typical purple-magenta form and a standout in any orchid collection.

• Light: Bright, indirect to moderate direct light; tolerates some morning sun. Strong light promotes robust growth and reliable blooming. Avoid harsh midday sun.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm growing. 65–85°F (18–29°C); protect from prolonged exposure below 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: 50–70%; ensure good air circulation alongside humidity to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth, then allow the medium to dry almost completely before watering again. Reduce frequency after pseudobulbs mature to encourage blooming.

Additional Notes:

Flowers are white to pale cream with undulate petals and sepals on long arching spikes. Grow in coarse bark or mounted on cork for optimal root aeration. Fertilize monthly at full strength during active growth. A dry rest after pseudobulb maturation promotes spike initiation.
