Product Description
Cattleya ‘Star of Siam’ is a captivating hybrid orchid known for its striking colors, elegant form, and delightful fragrance. This beautiful variety showcases broad, star-shaped blooms with vibrant shades of purple, lavender, and white, often highlighted by a richly colored lip that adds dramatic contrast. Each flower appears sculpted with precision, making the plant a true showstopper in any home garden or orchid collection. Its blooms are long-lasting, gracefully held above sturdy pseudobulbs, giving the plant a refined and balanced appearance.
This orchid thrives in bright, indirect light where it can receive the warmth and gentle illumination it needs to grow vigorously. When provided with proper care, Cattleya Star of Siam produces multiple blooms at once, filling the space with soft fragrance and tropical charm. The thick, leathery leaves indicate its resilience, allowing it to adapt well to indoor environments or shaded outdoor settings in warm climates.
Watering should be done when the potting medium begins to dry, as the plant prefers a cycle of moisture followed by slight dryness. A well-draining mix of bark, charcoal, and perlite helps keep the roots healthy and prevents rot. Good airflow is essential, supporting the plant’s natural rhythm and reducing fungal issues. Humidity around 50–70% keeps it comfortable and encourages strong growth.
Feeding with a balanced orchid fertilizer during active growth boosts blooming performance, enhancing both color intensity and flower size. With consistent care, this variety rewards growers with reliable seasonal blooms that brighten any space with their exotic beauty.
Cattleya Star of Siam is ideal for collectors and beginners alike—easy to maintain yet impressively stunning. Its vibrant petals, sweet fragrance, and elegant display make it a cherished addition to any orchid lover’s garden.
