Rlc. Fire Jewel 'Volcano Orange' (Will ship April 6)

$78.00
Sold Out

Rlc. Fire Jewel ‘Volcano Orange’ — a show-stopping Cattleya hybrid engineered for brilliance and presence. If you want an orchid that stops conversations the moment it blooms, this is the plant.

Why it sells:

  • Spectacular color: intense, molten orange petals edged with deeper, volcanic-red lip markings—colors that read like sunset fire and look sensational in any collection or display.

  • Large, dramatic blooms: broad, full flowers that command attention on a single spike, ideal for centerpiece impact or photographic display.

  • Excellent substance and longevity: thick petals and resilient flower tissue mean blooms last longer and maintain vivid color under typical home or greenhouse conditions.

  • Reliable growth habit: vigorous, well-formed pseudobulbs and healthy foliage make this a rewarding grower for both experienced collectors and ambitious beginners.

  • Versatile presentation: perfect potted, in exhibit, or as a striking addition to mixed arrangements—its color complements both contemporary and classic interiors.

Care highlights (simple, high-impact):

  • Bright, indirect light; morning sun or filtered greenhouse light is ideal.

  • Moderate humidity and good air movement to keep foliage clean and healthy.

  • Water when medium-dry between waterings; feed regularly during active growth with balanced orchid fertilizer.

  • Temperature-friendly: thrives in typical Cattleya day/night differentials—warm days, cooler nights.

Rlc. Volcano Jewel ‘Volcano Queen’ — Caring Guide

Rlc. Volcano Jewel ‘Volcano Queen’ is a showy Cattleya hybrid prized for large, vibrant blooms. To keep it healthy and encourage repeat flowering, follow these essentials:

Light

  • Bright, indirect light is ideal. Aim for morning sun or filtered light through a sheer curtain. Leaves should be a light to medium green; deep dark green indicates too little light, yellowing with burn indicates too much.

Temperature & Humidity

  • Day: 70–85°F; Night: 55–65°F. Provide a 10–15°F drop at night to stimulate spikes. Maintain humidity around 50–70% with good air movement to prevent fungal issues.

Watering

  • Water deeply, then allow the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings. In bark mixes, this often means watering once a week in active growth, less in winter. Avoid standing water and keep crowns dry to prevent rot.

Potting Medium & Repotting

  • Use a free-draining medium such as medium-grade fir bark mixed with perlite or charcoal. Repot every 2–3 years or when bark breaks down—ideally just after flowering and when new roots are emerging.

Fertilizer

  • Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20 or similar) at quarter to half strength every 1–2 weeks during active growth. Reduce to monthly in cooler, slower periods. Flush pots occasionally to prevent salt buildup.

Airflow & Disease Prevention

  • Provide steady air circulation to reduce pests and fungal problems. Inspect regularly for scale, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat pests early with appropriate insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils.

Bloom Care

  • Support spikes if needed and remove spent blooms to encourage future flowering. After bloom, continue regular care—many Rlc. hybrids produce a new growth and then rebloom on new or existing leads.

With bright light, consistent warmth, good airflow, and attentive watering, Rlc. Volcano Jewel ‘Volcano Queen’ will reward you with dramatic, long-lasting flowers. For premium specimens and supplies, visit O’Dowds Orchids—we ship nationwide.
