Cattleya Little Lars
A compact yet impactful Cattleya hybrid showcasing vivid magenta-purple blooms with a richly ruffled lip — a bold, eye-catching flower ideal for collectors who appreciate classic Cattleya beauty in a more manageable size.
- Light: Bright indirect light; an east- or south-facing windowsill with filtered light is ideal. Avoid harsh midday sun.
- Temperature: Intermediate-growing, 60–80°F (15–27°C). A slight nighttime temperature drop of 10°F (5°C) encourages blooming.
- Humidity: 50–70%. Good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues at higher humidity levels.
- Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the potting medium to dry almost completely before watering again. Reduce slightly in winter.
Additional Notes:
Flowers display a striking deep magenta-purple with broad, wavy petals and a velvety ruffled lip with deeper purple veining. Blooms are fragrant and long-lasting, typical of premium Cattleya hybrids. Its compact growth habit makes it well-suited for windowsill culture or smaller growing spaces.
