Unique red cattleya orchid Rhyncholaeliocattleya (Rlc.) Sharon King 'Volcano Queen' is an intriguing hybrid (Rlc. Oconee x Rlc. Gorgeous Gold) originating from our nursery here on Hawaii's Orchid Island.
This particular clone, Rlc. Sharon King 'Volcano Queen' is at a mature blooming stage. This orchid is planted in a 5 1/2” pot and will produce 4-5” blooms as shown in the product photo. Cattleyas are often annual bloomers. This variety tends to be a various season bloomer producing enchanting flowers that blend a soft amaranth red to slightly deeper cardinal hue with a captivating deep rosewood red lip. 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.

You have done a wonderful job of growing these plants. This one, too, is a fine well grown plant, and looks eager to grow and bloom for me. As a bonus, it arrived the day after I ordered it, in perfect condition. I'll be ordering more plants from you, I'm sure.
