This beautiful hybrid orchid honors the memory of Carlos Velasquez, combining the exceptional qualities of Cattleya percivaliana with Guarianthe skinneri to create a stunning cross with large, showy flowers and robust growth characteristics.

• Light: Requires bright light with some direct morning sun. Provide high light levels for optimal growth and flowering.
• Temperature: Thrives in intermediate to warm conditions with daytime temperatures of 22-28C (72-82F) and nighttime drops to 16-20C (61-68F).
• Humidity: Maintains best health with humidity levels of 60-75%. Ensure excellent air circulation to prevent fungal problems.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when growing medium approaches dryness. Allow slight drying between waterings to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

Thishybrid combines the best characteristics of both parents, potentially displaying the vibrant colors of C. percivaliana with the robust growth habit of G. skinneri. As these are seed-grown plants, flowering will be variable, offering exciting possibilities for unique color combinations and patterns.
