Rhyncholaeliocattleya Duh’s White ‘Pink Panther’

Care Tips:

• Light:

  • Provide bright, indirect light — place near a south‑ or east‑facing window but avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn.

  • Enough light encourages strong growth and flowering.

• Watering:

  • Water thoroughly when the growing medium approaches dryness; allow slight drying between waterings — do not let roots sit in water.

  • Typical watering for a plant in a ~5″ pot without direct sun is about 0.5 cups every ~9 days.

• Humidity & Airflow:

  • Maintain moderate humidity and good air circulation to support healthy roots and foliage and reduce disease risk.

• Growing Medium:

  • Use a well‑draining orchid mix (bark, perlite, etc.) to mimic epiphytic conditions; compact soil that stays soggy can lead to root rot.

• Temperature:

  • A moderate to warm range typical for Cattleya‑alliance orchids (intermediate conditions) is suitable; avoid cold drafts and extreme fluctuations. (General hybrid practice)

• Repotting & Nutrients:

  • Repot when the plant outgrows its container or the medium breaks down — often after plant size doubles or about yearly.

  • Fresh medium provides nutrients; supplemental fertilizer can be used sparingly during active growth.
