Cattleya Gigi Portilla

The Cattleya Gigi Portilla is a remarkable hybrid created from the cross between Cattleya iricolor and Cattleya leopoldii. This orchid combines the elegant flower shape and fragrance of Cattleya iricolor with the rich colors and vigorous growth habit of Cattleya leopoldii. It thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures with bright filtered light and excellent air circulation. The plants offered were imported at the beginning of the year and are currently cultivated in pots. Allow the substrate to dry slightly between waterings while maintaining moderate humidity around the plant. A well-draining bark mix is recommended to promote healthy root development and strong growth. With proper care, this beautiful hybrid will reward the grower with spectacular and often fragrant blooms.
