Caring for your Rlc. Mary Lupi Volcano Queen is an investment in vibrant, long-lasting beauty. This hybrid Cattleya orchid thrives with bright, indirect light—think east or west-facing windows—and prefers warm daytime temperatures between 70-85°F, cooling slightly at night to mimic its natural environment. Maintain moderate humidity around 50-70% and incorporate good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
Water thoroughly only when the potting medium dries out; overwatering invites root rot, while under-watering can stunt blooms. Use a balanced, water-soluble orchid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season to promote vigorous growth and spectacular flower development. Repot every 2-3 years in a well-draining medium like bark or a specialized orchid mix to ensure healthy roots.
With attentive care, your Rlc. Mary Lupi Volcano Queen will reward you with its breathtakingly lush, vibrant blossoms—making it a centerpiece of elegance in your collection. Trust O'Dowds Orchids for expert guidance, premium specimens, and nationwide delivery to keep your orchid thriving year-round.
