Why You’ll Love It:

• Spectacular Color Palette: The "sunset" tones of this variety are incredibly vivid, providing a warm, glowing energy to your living space.

• Powerful Fragrance: Like many top-tier Cattleya hybrids, 'Thailand Welcome' produces a delightful, sweet scent that is most intense during the morning and afternoon.

• Reliable Bloomer: This grex is known for its vigor and willingness to bloom, often producing multiple large flowers per spike once the plant reaches maturity.

• Waxy, Long-Lasting Petals: The blooms possess a thick substance, allowing the flowers to remain fresh and beautiful for several weeks.

Quick Care Guide:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is essential. Aim for a spot that receives plenty of filtered sunlight. If the leaves turn dark green, it needs more light; if they turn reddish, it’s getting a bit too much.

• Water: Follow a "soak and dry" cycle. Water thoroughly, then allow the potting medium to become almost dry to the touch before watering again. Never let the roots sit in standing water.

• Temperature: Prefers intermediate to warm conditions, ideally between 65°F and 85°F. It can tolerate slightly higher temperatures if humidity and airflow are increased.

• Fertilizer: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer at half-strength every two weeks during the spring and summer. Flush the pot with clear water once a month to prevent salt buildup.
