New arrival “Bc. Rustic Spots”

Bc. Rustic Spots  is a hybrid orchid, specifically a Brassocatanthe(Bc.), which is a combination of Brassavola, Cattleya, and Guarianthe genera. Here’s a bit more information about it:

1.  Appearance:

– Flowers: Bc. Rustic Spots typically features vibrant, spotted flowers in a range of colors, often shades of yellow, orange, or red. The spots give the orchid its distinctive look.
– Size: The blooms are medium to large, depending on the specific variety, and the plant itself can be a compact grower.
– Fragrance: Many of these hybrids have a light, pleasant fragrance, inherited from their parent species.

2. Growing Conditions:

Light: These orchids prefer bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight may cause leaf burn, while insufficient light can result in poor blooming.

Temperature: They thrive in warm temperatures, with a preference for daytime highs between 75-85°F (24-29°C) and nighttime temperatures around 55-60°F (13-16°C).

Watering: Like many orchids, they need a balance between moisture and dryness. Water thoroughly, then let the medium dry slightly between waterings.

3. Care:

Humidity: Ideal humidity levels for these orchids range from 50-70%. You may need to increase humidity in drier environments.

Fertilizing: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer, applying more during the growing season and reducing in the cooler months.

Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, or when the orchid has outgrown its container or the growing medium has broken down.

Bc. Rustic Spots orchids are relatively easy to care for and are a popular choice among collectors and enthusiasts due to their unique, attractive flowers and relatively manageable size.
