Pod Parent Blooming Plant
 
 
Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range Warm-Intermediate 87-64°F, cooler season Intermediate 83-60°F. This plant is grown indoors under full-spectrum LED lights, but also receives filtered light through a west window. Humidity is generally over 50 percent, but sometimes drops below 40 percent during Winter. I water the plant with reverse osmosis water supplemented with K-Lite fertilizer a few times per week. Potted in Cattleya Imperial Potting Mix from rePotme.com.
 
Comments: Parent plant: Plant is an offspring of Cattleya luteola 'GC' (4n) × 'H&R' (4n). It blooms reliably on multiple leads in the Summer each year.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker

The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Plants grow in the Amazon Basin from west of Manaus, Brazil to the lower eastern slopes of the Andes west of Iquitos, Peru. Cattleya luteola has spread both north and south through the eastern foothills of the Andes. Plants are found in scattered locations in Bolivia and Ecuador. They also have spread onto the Brazilian Plateau southwest of Manaus. Plants usually grow in relatively shaded locations on rough-barked trees along rivers in wet, lowland, tropical forests at 650–2300 ft. (200–700 m).
