Rlc. Mahina Yahiro (Rlc. Meditation × Rlc. Donna Kimura) – White is the rare color of this famous round shaped Cattleya. Compared to pink form, this white is hard to find. This has a very nice fragrance and is one of the nicest whites that Cattleya Lovers wish to have in their collection.
Plants should be grown in medium bark with partial to full sun. The plant is a intermediate to warm growing orchid variety. Water approximately once a week in the Summer and reduce watering during the winter. Plant can also be mounted but we recommend growing them in pot or basket, so you can repot easily every two years.
Be certain not to dry the plant off after the first growth is completed, however, or it may not start the second growth. Growths should produce flowers in September through February.
If you want to produce the best flowers, avoid repotting the plant as long as possible, and only repot when new roots emerge from the lead pseudobulb. They should have lots of sun and air. The leaves should be a light green color. Do not let the leaves get warm to the touch, however, because this is too much sun and may burn the leaves. Always keep Cattleya slightly dry during its rest period to avoid rotting the roots, and start the plant growing right after flowering with frequent light sprays of water on sunny days.
