Cattleya mossiae

Cattleya mossiae, also known as Moss’s Cattleya, is a stunning orchid species hailing from Venezuela, celebrated for its exquisite, large flowers that emit a delightful fragrance. Blooming once a year in spring and early summer, this medium-sized orchid thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures, requiring ample, indirect sunlight and good air circulation. Proper watering is essential, allowing the substrate to slightly dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. With the latest repotting in summer 2026, the plants may still be establishing new root systems, but with attentive care, they will soon flourish into robust, vibrant specimens, showcasing their spectacular blooms.
