Pot 3.0"
The Rlc. Chief Dancer is a spectacular Cattleya alliance hybrid, producing 15-18cm vibrant fuchsia flowers with a frilled golden lip and sweet citrus fragrance. This large-growing orchid (45-60cm) thrives in bright conditions (4,000-6,000 lux) and warm 24-30°C summer temperatures, requiring a coarse bark mix and excellent drainage. Part of the esteemed "Chief" hybrid series, it flowers reliably in late spring when given strong light and moderate humidity (60-75%). While uncommon in general cultivation, its dramatic floral display and vigorous growth make it a favourite among Cattleya enthusiasts. Water when the potting medium is nearly dry, and provide good air movement to prevent fungal issues in its dense foliage.
These care guidelines are based on general information and may need adjustments based on your specific growing conditions and the needs of your individual plant.
