Alba Cattleya Selfing

[Louis_W]

Since your plant is just a seedling have a look at the root tips and the young growths especially. If there is any pigmentation (usually reddish root tips and pink to purple dots on the young leaves) then you know your plant is not alba. Every part of the plant should be pigment free.

What species/hybrid is it?

It is Laelia sincorana alba. It has been a dream of mine for some time. I reached out to the seller who I got it from, and they said that I should be a true alba as well. It is the cutest plant ever!

My goodness, I'd also love to grow a sincorana alba. Can you message me and let me know where you purchased it? I have almost no room left but love sincorana and its hybrids, and I've had my eye out for an alba for quite some time.
