Cattleya Milo (1910) f. coerulea (Primary Hybrid)

This historic and beautiful orchid hybrid from 1910, is a primary cross between Cattleya maxima f. coerulea and Cattleya mossiae f. coerulea. The "f. coerulea" designation indicates a form with blue or lavender-blue tones, making it a highly sought-after variety.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning or late afternoon sun, but should be protected from harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures range between 20-27°C (70-80°F). A distinct nighttime temperature drop of 10-15°C (18-27°F)
Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity, ideally between 40-60%. Good air circulation is vital to prevent fungal issues.
Watering: Allow the potting medium to dry out almost completely between waterings, then water thoroughly. Cattleya orchids prefer a distinct wet-dry cycle.
