Bc. Binosa 'Key Lime' (Brassavola nodosa x Cattleya bicolor). A fantastic flower that draws you in with its vibrant, contrasting colors. Star-shaped green flowers with heart shaped white lip & purple dots, about 10 cm in diameter and lasts 3-4 weeks.
Fragrant only at night, where it releases a nice floral scent to attract moths for pollination. We are offering overgrown plants ready for bigger pots. They are a really nice gift for orchid loving friends!
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.
