Pcv. Key Lime Stars (Ctyh. Lime Sherbet x Brassavola nodosa). An easy-growing nodosa cross, these look like their name, a lime-colored star-shaped flower, and with a large white lip that has tiny purple spots and a lime throat. A wonderful flower! Plants reach blooming size in 2” pots. On young plants, new growths typically produce 1-2 flowers, whereas mature plants are more prolific, blooming in clusters of several 4" flowers. Mildly fragrant in the evening. We are offering these blooming plants fully grown in 3" pot ready to transplant to 4" pot soon!
Brassavola Hybrids are some of the easiest of all orchids to grow and are perfect for beginners. Grow in good strong light and allow the potting mix to become just dry between watering. They grow best in intermediate conditions, on cork slabs with semi-humid to humid environments or in pots with medium bark. Basket-grown Brassavola hybrids can quickly outgrow their original basket and form a specimen plant that completely covers the original container. Don't bother repotting or remounting larger Brassavola, but feel free to take divisions and rapidly multiply your plant stock.
