Guarianthe aurantiaca 'Maruja' syn Cattleya aurantiaca 'Maruja'

[Bud]

This orchid is endemic to Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala; a zone that is very humid with abundant rainfall, therefore the plant does not like to be dry for long periods of time but will succumb to root rot if overwatered. These are small to medium plants; I posted the long stemmed bulbs variety a while ago in another thread. This orchid was recently moved to the group Guarianthe, commonly known as the Orange Cattleya. This is the variety that has spotting on the lip.
For culture and care, I give this plant intermediate to cool growing, yet this can also tolerate warmer temperatures with the aid of good air circulation. I give it bright shaded light during its growing period and dry winter rest with cool night temperatures to induce flowers; it can tolerate down to 50F at night, but I do not stress it just to prove a point it is given 60F at night….what I mean by ‘dry winter rest’ is reduced watering but do not completely deprive it of water ….(I water it twice a week in the summer but only once a week in winter) I have a humidifier with oscillating electric fan in the day and automatically shuts off at night….
Weekly weakly fertilizer added with seaweed mix and worm tea mix.
