Cattleya schroederae ('Fabiano Extra' × oscura 'Revolcon')

Care Tips:

• Provide bright, filtered light or several hours of gentle morning sun to encourage vigorous growth and flowering.
• Grow in a coarse, fast-draining orchid bark mix or an open basket with excellent root aeration.
• Water thoroughly during active growth, allowing the potting medium to dry slightly between waterings.
• Reduce watering after pseudobulbs mature, then resume regular watering when new growth and roots emerge.
• Maintain intermediate temperatures (16–26°C / 60–80°F), 50–70% humidity, and strong air circulation.
• Fertilize with a balanced orchid fertilizer at quarter- to half-strength during active growth, reducing feeding during the resting period.
• Repot only when new roots begin to emerge to minimize transplant stress and encourage rapid establishment.
