Orchid Cattleya Purpurata Dream

Cattleya purpurata ‘Dream’ is a graceful Cattleya-type orchid with soft lavender-pink blooms and a vivid magenta-purple lip. The flowers have a light, elegant look with beautiful contrast, making this orchid a lovely choice for growers who enjoy classic orchid blooms without needing a rare collector price tag. 🌸💜

This orchid prefers bright filtered light, good airflow, and a chunky, well-draining orchid mix. Allow the potting media to approach dry between waterings, since Cattleya-type orchids do not like staying wet around the roots. With enough light and steady care, Cattleya purpurata ‘Dream’ can reward growers with beautiful, showy blooms. ☀️🌿
