Laelia jongheana #45 outcross ('Elena' x 'Jutta') (approximately 25 seedlings per flask).

The Species: A compact species from Minas Gerais, Brazil where it is found between 4600 and 5300 ft elevations. A mature specimen sized plant will have growth in the 6 to 9" tall range with very short rhizomes. The flowers can be up to 6 inches wide.

Culture: It is an intermediate to cool-intermediate grower that likes to dry just a bit between waterings. In the winter, the period the roots are dry can be a bit longer. I am currently fertilizing at every watering at the rate of 1/4 teaspoon per gallon and a bit lower strength in winter. It can be grown potted or mounted.Give it moderately bright to bright light.
