This is complex hybrid Cattleya that likes as much sun as I can give it. It summers outdoors where it gets full sun, which seems to be enough to charge it up to bloom two or three times a year. Overall, it’s been a very reliable bloomer that prefers to not be overwatered during the cold winter months, but otherwise isn’t picky.
