Cyrtocidium Pepe Portilla 'Camila'
An intergeneric hybrid between Cyr. volubile and Onc. Sally Jones 'Monarch', bearing large, well-formed flowers with broad, white-margined sepals and petals, a deep velvety center, and a bilobed lip with intricate pink-and-white patterning. The 'Camila' clone is a selected form notable for its flower size and vigorous growth habit.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun, which can cause leaf burn on the broad, strap-like foliage.
- Temperature: 55–75°F (13–24°C); intermediate grower. A slight temperature drop at night encourages reliable blooming.
- Humidity: 50–70%; tolerates moderate humidity well. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues between waterings.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the mix approaches dryness; follow a clear wet-dry cycle. Avoid letting pseudobulbs shrivel, but never allow roots to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes
Best grown in medium bark mix in a plastic or clay pot with good drainage. Shipped bare root with a healthy, well-established root system — ready to pot upon arrival.
