This particular clone, Rlc. Mitsuo Akatsuka 'Volcano Queen' is at a mature blooming stage. The parental cross for this clone is Rlc. Ikuko Akatsuka x Rlc. Fred Stewart. This orchid is planted in a 5 1/2” pot and will produce 4-5.5” blooms as shown in the product photo. This plant is NOT currently in bud or flowering now.
General orchid care for Cattleyas include a temperature range of 75-85F during the day and 60F at night. 40-60% humidity is recommended. Bright, shaded light south-east or south-west exposure. Check the media and water only when dry (about 1-2 times/week). We recommend fertilizing with a high phosphorus & potassium slow release blend to develop big blooms. As with all orchids, good air movement is essential. Repot these mature size orchids every 2 years.
Growing instructions are included with every order. Contact us daily via email or phone for additional care questions or concerns.

Nice new growth with deep bud. Very well packed
Very healthy plant with two new bulbs just finished growing. Expecting two flower spikes next season. I feel lucky.
