Wils. Pacific Passage 'Peach Cobbler'

If you are looking for an orchid that captures the warm, glowing hues of a summer sunset, Wilsonara Pacific Passage 'Peach Cobbler' is an absolute must-have. This stunning intergeneric hybrid is celebrated for its incredible color palette, blending soft apricot, creamy peach, and hints of rosy terra-cotta into a visual masterpiece.

The flowers are gracefully star-shaped with elegantly ruffled edges, appearing in abundance on tall, arching spikes. Each bloom features intricate patterns and a bright, contrasting lip that makes the "peach" tones truly pop.

Why You’ll Love It

• Unique Color Profile: True to its name, this orchid offers rare shades of peach and orange that are hard to find in the orchid world, making it a standout in any collection.

• Floriferous Nature: Known for its "flower power," a mature plant can produce a branching spike with dozens of blooms at once, creating a spectacular display.

• Compact Growth: Despite its large floral show, the plant itself remains relatively compact and manageable, fitting perfectly on a windowsill or a dedicated plant shelf.

• Long-Lasting Beauty: The waxy texture of the petals ensures that the flowers remain vibrant and fresh for several weeks, allowing you to enjoy the "cobbler" colors for a long time.

Quick Care Guide

• Light: Medium to bright indirect light. An east-facing window is perfect. If the leaves turn very dark green, it needs more light; if they turn yellowish-red, it's getting too much.

• Water: Keep the media moist but never soggy. Water just as the top inch of the potting mix feels dry to the touch. This variety does not like to stay dry for long periods.

• Temperature: Intermediate (60°F – 80°F). It thrives in standard household temperatures but appreciates good air circulation to keep the roots happy.

• Fertilizer: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer at half-strength every two weeks during the growing season, flushing with plain water once a month to prevent salt buildup.
