Description

Cattleya trianae Ecua 0191 × splash OP, in vitro

Name: Cattleya trianae Ecua 0191 × Cattleya trianae splash
Etymology: Cattleya (named in honor of the British orchid collector William Cattley); trianae (named after the Colombian botanist José Jerónimo Triana).
Origin / Distribution: Cultivar. The parent forms belong to the species Cattleya trianae, which is endemic to Colombia.
Location / Habitat: Epiphytic. After deflasking, requires intermediate to warm conditions, a bright location with plenty of indirect light (no direct midday sun), humidity of approx. 60–80%, and steady, gentle air circulation.
Description & Notes: This deliberate intraspecific cross combines two outstanding selected forms of Colombia's national flower. The parent Cattleya trianae 'Ecua 0191' contributes excellent substance, symmetrical flower form, and vigorous genetics, while the partner with the 'splash' form (peloric or flame-like color patterns on the petals) provides a fascinating, multicolored pattern. The seedlings promise to develop into robust, medium- to large-sized plants with expressive, long-lasting flowers. The offspring's color palette may range from delicate pink to more intense magenta shades, often complemented by the characteristic contrasting spots at the petal tips and the typically yellow-shaded lip.

In-vitro Culture: You will receive a flask containing 4 young plants. The plants are generally already large enough to be deflasked. After opening, carefully rinse all the nutrient medium from the roots using lukewarm water, then pot the young plants in fine, very airy bark with a little sphagnum. For the first few weeks, we recommend high humidity, warm to intermediate conditions, and bright but sheltered light with good air movement. Initially, keep the substrate evenly and lightly moist; increase light intensity and allow it to dry out gradually only after the plants are well established.
