Cattleya Hawaiian Wedding Song ‘Virgin’ — an icon of bridal-white elegance and intoxicating fragrance. This award-worthy hybrid combines generous, pristine white blooms with a creamy throat and a refined form that suits both collectors and designers seeking a statement orchid for weddings, events, or a distinguished home collection.
Care overview — keep your C. Hawaiian Wedding Song ‘Virgin’ at its best Light
Bright, indirect light is ideal. East- or west-facing windows are preferred. Aim for 2,000–3,500 foot-candles (bright indoor light without direct midday sun). Temperature
Intermediate to warm: day 70–82°F, night 58–65°F. Moderate drops at night help encourage bud set. Humidity & air movement
50–70% humidity is ideal. Provide gentle air circulation to prevent stagnation and reduce disease risk. Watering & medium
Grow in a free-draining mix (bark with a bit of charcoal and perlite). Water thoroughly when the medium begins to dry but do not let roots remain waterlogged. Typically once weekly in moderate conditions, more in warm/dry weather. Fertilizer
Feed regularly during active growth: a balanced 20-20-20 or an orchid-specific fertilizer at quarter to half strength every 1–2 weeks. Reduce feeding slightly when growth slows. Potting & roots
Repot every 2–3 years or when medium breaks down. Use a pot that allows some root space; many growers prefer an open, well-draining clay or plastic pot. Bloom care
Support long spikes with stakes if needed. Keep flowers out of direct sun and drafts. Mist room humidity while avoiding wetting blooms excessively.
