Introducing the exquisite Rlc. Waianae Leopard 'Ching Hua,' a captivating hybrid born from the union of Rlc. Peach Cobbler and C. Penny Kuroda. This spotted cattleya hybrid showcases its beauty through pairs or clusters of flowers when young, while mature plants dazzle with several flowers per bloom spike.
In a 5" pot, this blooming-size plant is a delightful addition to any orchid collection. Its compact size makes it perfect for both potted and mounted growth. With green waxy petals adorned with captivating purple spots along the edges, and a contrasting purple lip with hints of yellow, the flowers of 'Ching Hua' are truly a sight to behold. What's more, their fragrance is simply intoxicating.
To cultivate this stunning hybrid successfully, provide it with bright indirect light, ensuring it receives the right amount of illumination without direct sunlight. Moderate to high humidity levels are necessary for optimal growth, along with strong air circulation. During the active growth period in spring and summer, be sure to water generously, allowing the plant to dry between waterings. As with other bifoliate Cattleyas, repotting or mounting should only be carried out while the plant is actively growing. Avoid disturbing the plant after the newest growths have matured.
In May, you can expect to witness the development of bloom sheaths, with the glorious blooming commencing from late June to early August. The 'Ching Hua' mericlone offers an unforgettable summer blooming experience, enveloping your space in a heady fragrance and a display of nature's artistry.
