Cattleya Alliance Slc Vallezac 'Evelyn'
Slc Vallezac 'Evelyn' is a named clone from the Cattleya alliance, where *Slc* refers to historical hybrid ancestry involving Sophronitis, Laelia, and Cattleya. This compact-growing hybrid is known for producing richly coloured flowers, typically in shades of deep red to crimson, with a broad, flared lip that may show contrasting yellow or orange in the throat. Blooms are usually medium-sized and appear singly or in small groups on short, upright stems. The plant forms clustered pseudobulbs and thrives under conditions suited to warm to intermediate-growing Cattleya types.
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, filtered light. Some morning sun is beneficial.
- Water: Water when the medium is almost dry. Avoid keeping it constantly wet.
- Humidity: Maintain 50–70% humidity with good airflow.
- Media: Well-draining medium-grade orchid bark or a suitable Cattleya mix.
- Temperature: Grows best in intermediate to warm temperatures, 16–28 °C.
- Fertiliser: Apply diluted orchid fertiliser fortnightly during active growth. Flush occasionally to remove salt build-up.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years, ideally when new roots emerge after flowering.
