Den. victoria reginae 'SO Indigo' x Den. cuthbertsonii 'SO Pink' 3in

An exciting hybrid between the bright indigo Den. victoria reginae and blush pink form of Den. cuthbertsonii. These have the compact form of cuthbertsonii but are definitely growing in the manner of reginae. A gentle winter rest is recommended. Decrease watering and fertilizing, allowing it to dry out very slightly between waterings. High humidity is recommended as both species enjoy it. Pygmy size. This may not be a great one for beginners and both species are often described as challenging. 

Pictured are examples of the parents. Mature blooming size plant.
