Call UsBuy Cattleya Orchids Online in India
Long called the Queen of Orchids, Cattleya is prized for large, ruffled, richly perfumed flowers. If you want fragrance in an orchid, this is the genus to grow.
Cattleyas grow from water-storing pseudobulbs, so they prefer to dry out between waterings and resent staying wet. Give them bright light — brighter than a Phalaenopsis, short of harsh midday sun — and good air movement.
Blooms are fewer than a Dendrobium spray but far larger, and the scent carries across a room. They are a collector's orchid that still rewards ordinary care.
