This exceptional Cattleya species is a selective cross between two clones of C. trianae. This “Michael x splash #118” cultivation is highly valued by collectors for its potential to produce show-quality flowers with unique splash patterns that set it apart.

• Light: Requires bright light conditions with some direct morning sunlight. Provide maximum light possible without burning to ensure optimal growth and exceptional flowering.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions with daytime temperatures of 24-30C (75-86F) and cooler nights of 18-22C (65-72F) to initiate flowering cycles.
• Humidity: Demands high humidity levels of 65-85% with excellent air movement to prevent stagnant conditions around the plant.
• Watering: Water generously during active growth, allowing the medium to approach dryness between waterings. Reduce watering during rest periods to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

This particular cross produces large flowers with distinctive splash patterns on the petals, inheriting the classic C. trianae form but with an added visual appeal, creating truly spectacular and highly sought-after blooms.
