Caring for your Rlc. Tropic Flame 'Volcano Queen'

Rlc. Tropic Flame 'Volcano Queen' is a stunning Cattleya hybrid known for its vibrant colors and resilient nature. To keep your orchid thriving and blooming beautifully, follow these care tips:

Light:
Provide bright, indirect light. This orchid enjoys a balance between morning sunlight and afternoon shade. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light reduces flowering.

Temperature:
Maintain daytime temperatures between 70-85°F and nighttime temps around 55-65°F. These orchids appreciate a distinct drop at night to encourage blooming.

Watering:
Water thoroughly once the medium dries out, usually every 7-10 days. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Humidity:
Aim for 50-60% humidity. Increase moisture by placing a humidity tray nearby or using a room humidifier, especially in dry environments.

Fertilizer:
Use a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength every two weeks during the growing season. Cut back fertilizing during the winter rest period.

Potting Medium:
Use a chunky, well-draining medium such as fir bark mixed with perlite. Repot every 2-3 years or when the medium breaks down.

Air Circulation:
Good air flow helps prevent fungal and bacterial issues. Place near a fan or open window without exposing to cold drafts.

With these care guidelines, your Rlc. Tropic Flame 'Volcano Queen' will reward you with vibrant, long-lasting blooms season after season. For more tips and premium orchids, visit odowdsorchids.com—where we love our orchids as much as you do.
