Hi, I was wondering if any one has owned or owns a Sophrolaeliacattleya Mahalo Jack? If any of you have, I was wondering if you could tell me the basics of this plant, like light, temperature (in Celsius ), and when it should bloom! Thanks a ton! (This is my third orchid and it should get here in about two-three days!
I'll leave it up to someone from your area of the world to give you advice about growing conditions, I'll just help you with the name, It's Cattleya Mahalo Jack, parents are Cattleya walkeriana x Cattleya Orpetti.
One of mine just finished blooming. Lots of light (full afternoon sun) and fert & watered weekly. Temps anywhere from 18 to 25 ish....sometimes dropping at night to 15 or 16. Seems to be a fairly easy one to bloom. Good luck.
