Cattleya rupestris 

ATTEND IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY, THE ORCHID DIGEST CATTLEYA SYMPOSIUM 11/8/25 TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE BEAUTIFUL ORCHIDS. INFORMATION: WWW.ORCHIDDIGEST.ORG

Cattleya rupestris is endemic to Brazil and grows as a lithophyte primarily in the seasonally dry tropical biome and blooms in the fall. A dry winter rest is important. Use a fast-draining orchid mix so the roots dry out between watering.
