First blooming Cattleya aclandiae v. alba
I got this as a bonus plant from a species Cattleya order from SVO last fall. Definitely a keeper, I'm keeping it in sub par conditions but it still blooms for me. I was worried that this plant would be beyond my growing conditions.
Daytime temps: 70-75F
Nighttime temps: 60-65F
Humidty avg: 50%

Beautiful! What makes you think it's in sub-par conditions?

Every care guide you read says it needs high temps and high humidity. |

High humidity, yes. They’re found in higher elevations though, so intermediate temps are ok! |
