Rlc. Yasuji Takasaki 'Hawaii' 4in

Cattleya hybrid with orange petals and a deep red lip. 6in fragrant, large ruffled blooms that last up to 3 weeks and emerge in pairs. Typical large cattleya size (~20in height). A great orchid for those with lots of light and those that tend to water less rather than more.

This is a near blooming size orchid (1 year) in a 4in pot. Color may vary from pictured.

CATTLEYA CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Coarse orchid bark, keep pot bound. Repot when pot bound in Spring.

Light: Bright indirect - partial direct light. South or West facing preferred. Give as much light as possible while keeping up with watering. 

Water: Water when media is fully dry, decrease in cold months. Very sensitive to over watering.

Temp: Warm (60F min night, 85F max day).

Humidity: 40-80%, high humidity must be accompanied by good air circulation. 

Fertilizing: 1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Decrease to 1/4 strength or less in winter.
